Seems a bit like your logic is flawed there Feniks. Because you think the truth won't come out you won't speak to the people writing the news, but if you and others don't speak then the chances of the truth coming out is guaranteed to be 0%. Even if you think it's a 1 in a million shot that your words will be brought to light, that's still a better chance then 0. I mean unless you are worried they will take you out of context and twist said words-in which case, I would argue that would be a good reason to report that sort of abuse.

Feniks can you let us know your version then?

[PFH]

I think the promo team could use your input. I mean, they never had it to begin with.

[Most Lee Harmless]

Probably not...
If one side in an issue gets to write the history of it the other invariably protests and demands the world believes their version is the 'truth'. The media ends up being blasted from all directions for 'falsehoods' and then adopts the only solution : it says nothing. Cue complaints from all sides off 'censorship'. Cant win, really, especially when some hold to the modern view that 'truth' can be as opaque or elastic as it needs to be to 'win' the argument, no matter how petty the stakes.

[PFH]

You have a good point. The promo team much appreciates multiple views to get the best story possible, even if it's accuracy is a lil off.

However it seems they did their best in this, and Edward has also said he can do interviews, so there shouldn't be any issues with posts, as there is room to make yourself an inteview

[Dejanira]

This may be an interesting way to present news. Multiple points of view. Something like "Australia says... and Spain says... and Fenick says... etc."
After all it's exactly the same hook used by Game of Thrones to keep people reading/watching.

Imagine historial events told this way. Argentina said that Islas Melvinas were occupied by force by UK and that they asked gently many times to set them free. Uk said that Argentina made an ambush against peaceful people living in a quiet side of the world but that people were loyal to the Crown.
Not just a rant like this is false! I'm the only one who knows the *truth*

Speaking of Truth by the Swedish/Iranian singer Laleh Pourkarim. Not exactly my favorite genre but it fits the news

My point is that the posts were written first. Afterward, they asked for comments. What is the point to comment then. Thi sall started because the same thing happened before. This is the way the PR team has operated since inception....... Write a post that only slightly resembles the events that happened and then ask for comment after.

I have no worry about being taken out of context. I made myself quite clear in the conversations I had.

This is close to accurate. The story has already been written. It is based on one side.... not both. One side of the story was written BEFORE both sides could be told. Shows a lack of respect and a carelessness of the actual history.

You are correct. It would have been an interesting approach if it had been done that way...... but alas, it seems the story has been written and Cersei and Jamie Lannister are already dead.

I see your point. But still
