Well that's neither here nor there (edit: meaning the BBC article and Jonze' apparent flailing).
If Jonze and the NME don't approve of Morrissey's views, why did they run them? They could've stayed on the topic of music, but Jonze called back to hammer away even more.
Legal threats aside, Morrissey must have known they'd be turning it into a hatchet job when the phone call portion focussed on immigration and not music. Maybe Jonze wasn't expecting the hatchet blade to be that sharp, is all.
