From JDoe23 Once More

Looking over the penguin adorned site I noticed a lot of selective quoting which can change the apparent meaning of a statement, and is a dishonest way to conduct an argument. Possibly a similar editing philosophy may have been employed by Channel 4 news. I think following rigorous fair practice in arguing a point is a very helpful discipline. - JDoe23 (by email)

It is a fair point. Having said that, I'm not sure whether the penguin people are really much worse than anyone else in this regard. I think there was something in the Bible about beams, eyes and motes and which order to remove them ... it's all a bit hazy.

I've written to write to David Boddy to ask him about Channel 4, as Donald Lambie suggested. - Vayukesha
