The question is why would you have two grading teams? Why would you employ people say in China to grade it then employ people in the UK to also grade it. It's duplicating work and very wasteful. Better to choose one, have them do it, then publish to your various language/region platforms. Also makes little sense for something that isn't time sensitive (e.g. breaking news) to rush through posting one without proper grading, then bother to take the time to fix it for a different bureau. I mean I can't say I've ever worked in that industry but it just doesn't make sense not to have a process that includes grading before anything non-live gets greenlit for airing. Specials like this especially you have the luxury of sitting in your editing box and tweaking it a bit, choosing different settings and picking what you want to go with.
Distortion by omission is still distortion and it is the favorite tactic of the western press because it allows plausible deniability.
