I'm surprised how inarticulate he is. Using the word "interrogate" where he should have used "scrutinise".
On the whole "story" thing. What he fails to understand is that once reality is told as a story, like it or not, it immediately becomes fiction.
I think he has a point that it is impossible to get a seriously in-depth account of the events of 24 hours in the house when it is condensed into 45 minutes, but the editors have still been disingenuous on a number of occasions. Most notable being the omission of Sunshine throwing water on John James from the HL's, which let up vaginagate. So many of the events shown that night were inconsequential/trivial and yet they still needed to leave such an important incident out. How does he go about explaining that?
While I've never been a fan of Phil Edgar Jones, I respect him for coming out and answering some criticisms, but he is not going to change anyone's mind any time soon.

Didn't he once accidentally sneer his face off?
