Sri Lankan cricketing legend Muttiah Muralitharan has pointed out that Channel 4 had lost its credibility in his eyes. It had aired an edited clip of an interview which distorted the context he spoke in.
In an interview with Daily Mirror, he said that it was unethical for them to edit three minutes of a 45 minute interview and air it.
When questioned as to if the journalists assured him of airing the entire interview prior to agreeing on the interview, he replied in the affirmative.
Muralitharan said that was what they said. They promised that they would carry everything. He said he was not the one who wanted to be interviewed. They are the ones who wanted it badly. If they published the entire interview that would be the right thing to do and if they were to edit what he said they should have told him. Muralitharan pointed out that he would have accepted it if they told him. But he added that they did not and he considered that it was very unethical.
