Darcus Howe on London Riots (ABC TV) 1024x576

Unlike BBC, ABC did not censor Darcus' Riots commentry and gave him a chance to comment on the BBC incident.

Darcus didn't complain when BBC presenter Fiona Armstrong (mis)introduced him twice as "Marcus Dowe" but got annoyed when she tried to censor him and was finally outraged when she accused him of criminal activity in the past. The BBC later published a formal apology online http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/content/response/res_bbcnewsriotscoverage

What you see is an extract from the weekly SBS broadcast of Foreign Correspondent. This report was broadcast on 11-08-30 entitled "Storming High Street".which, although it featured Andrew Fowler interviewing Darcus (from Croydon, a southern suburb), mainly focussed on the riots experience of Ealing (A western suburb).

You can watch the full episode (at slightly lower resolution compared to my youtube clip) at http://www.abc.net.au/foreign/content/2011/s3306041.htm

The BBC did invite him back for a debate the same evening of the embarassing episode, this time with an ex-Tory debate but it turned out lame IMHO http://youtu.be/718J9oIUTWo
