Dear ****,
Your frustration and anger is totally understandable and we absolutely agree
with your sentiments in this matter. Stevie Cameron is a respected
journalist and author who has spent 4 years researching the background to
the Pickton case and thus brings some context to this awful, awful trial.
I can't help but think she must have simply misspoken and meant to say the
story of Pickton, as presented at trial, was dramatic. It is one of the
perils of live TV that we have little control over our guests during the
interview. We can only prepare them and our hosts for the interview, and in
this case we did all of that.
However I do apologize for any offence, and we want you to know we have had
a serious editorial discussion about using this commentator again and that
we have spoken to Ms. Cameron.
Again, please accept our regrets for this unfortunate use of words. We are
as sickened by this trial as our community, and only hope that justice is
done for the families and the victims at the end of it all.
Many thanks for taking the time to write, and please don't hesitate to be in
touch again with any comments or suggestions in the future.
