So, the media must report on racial equality issues. I want to see journalists reporting on and debating the major issues facing us in race relations today. That is nonsense. Words can and do hurt people every day of their lives. The wrong words can lead to violence, resentment, riots, murder.
Words are all important.
You know that. Your profession is all about words. Words have influence. Words have power. Words can do tremendous damage That is why, every time a politician speaks, journalists analyse every word, and every combination of words.
