“As a long time fan of the BBC and many of its media productions over the years, I found myself surprised and extremely disappointed in listening to Sarah Montague’s interview with Penpa Tsering of the Central Tibetan Administration.
Far from being the balanced and perceptive inquiry that I have come to know BBC reporting for over the years, Montague’s interviewing was pushy and aggressive to the point of being plainly disrespectful. Simply not professional reportage.
Most disturbingly, several of her questions questioned the validity of the ongoing cultural genocide in Tibet, which has been documented and reported on exhaustively for decades now. In doing so, Montague implicitly endorsed the oppressive, anti-Tibetan propaganda of the People’s Republic of China. For shame.”
