As someone who actually took part in the TV programme you mentioned, I have little hesitation in agreeing with much of what you have written about it.
Undoubtedly it had an agenda, and the individual who presented it may well have had his own. It did not at any stage purport to be 'independent', it was simply a piece of (IMHO) responsible journalistic work, by a HIGHLY respected journalist (not the presenter) to bring to the public's attention the finding of the FAI, whose findings, we all know, are at significant variance to those of the 2 Air Marshalls.
To that extent, the programme has served it's purpose well, and was never one of the 'independent' bodies to which I, nor I suspect JB referred.
I notice you have made no reference to the Fatal Accident Inquiry. May I ask why?
