Tell them that you want it written into the contract that they are obliged to allow you to view the final edit before airing - IN CONTRACT. Be firm. If they have objectionable things there you have the opportunity to veto. It also means you can tweet ahead of airing to say 'im generally happy with a,b,c but they misrepresented x,y,z
take the opportunity. Expect disappointment. Show them your other interviews (David Seaman etc) and point out where previous interviewers weren't thoughtful or sensitive to your experience - sell that to them as enabling them to do the best job and learn from others mistakes
good luck. I admire your faith.

@BP_Survivor, do you think you could add a link of some kind to your post so mods don't have to remove it for Rule 2? Maybe a couple of anti-trafficking memes/graphics you've shared on Twitter or something to rally the troops?
Also: One tip for dealing with the press -- boil your message down to four or five pre-planned sound bites of what you really want to stick in people's heads, your most important stuff. Journalists cannot resist colorful, pithy quotes. They're like crack. Have one or two statistical factoids in our arsenal, as well. Stats on rising numbers of children being exploited would be a good place to start.
Then: Memorize these so you can say them any time, anywhere: they just roll off your tongue. Make your friends nail you out of the blue, over and over, with any tough, manipulative or provocative questions you can dream up that they might ask you -- and practice answering calmly in a way that leads you right into dropping your pre-planned, irresistable nuggets of truth. A good interviewee can bring any question back to his or her own talking points and make the interviewer feel they got good material.
Your courage is contagious.
I would want to know what their motives are and what the big picture story is. You have to assume every network exec is just like the folks you broke away from. Would much rather see you doing alt media interviews. World is still run by elitist and that includes all MSM...at least for now..

I agree. Have the person with you press record before entering the building and not press stop until after leaving. Raw video of everything said or done in the building. Catch em in a dishonest edit and you bolster your case.

I'd like to know just how they plan on vetting you. Do they have case files and evidence to go off of? Court cases/dates? News reports? That is my first concern. Also, I just saw you state in another thread that Mr. elephants threatened you similarly to the PGGear guy. Got evidence of that? We'd probably like to see such a thing.
Without evidence I wouldn't even go on the show, and I think I speak for most hear when saying don't even mention PizzaGate or Voat.co.

I have signed waivers on all my files. I am a little bit worried about what some of the files will say about me as many people have not believed my story. Yes Mr Alefantis will be part of what I have to reveal. Why not mention Pizzagate? This is the whole point of this interview. To expose the criminals in USA and the UK.

If you can verify the things you say than my worries are lessened and I wish you good luck. If you have proof that Mr. Alefantis threatened you well then be careful. And go get him.

Rather it would be better to mention Pedogate than Pizzagate and then they cannot argue about that. Show them the bigger picture rather than the one they would want to trip you up on by saying Pizzagate was investigated.
Also ask them for right to reply once you have seen their edited for-airing version.

Also ask for a female reporter. They tend to he more sympathetic and less sarcastic.
