The era of anyone, or any entity, deciding what is, or is not ‘a story’, based on what they would prefer the story to be, or not, is long over.

Idiotic as it is, Chuck’s comment reminds us all of an important point.

Four days after the news broke, there is no known defence of the BBC position in this story. Tom Chivers on the Telegraph wrote something about the BBC being able to choose whichever ‘experts’ it pleases. But that sidesteps completely the issues (untruths, bullying, betrayal, making up stories, etc).

Some poorly-reasoning souls replied that this was a non-story. A non-story of 140k pounds of wasted money, with the Head of News spending time in court just as the Savile/McAlpine/who-knows-what-else stories are destroying the BBC News department.

That’s not a non-story.

Poorly researched piece. Parts of it lifted from the Register, an internet rag known for promoting pseudoscience.

Gerry, in making the case for the removal of public money it is important to demonstrate why the corporation is deliberately breaking the terms of its charter, publishing lies to the public and then using that money to cover it up.

This is but one instance. Draining the BBC swamp and finding out on what other subjects they have done this is an important step in the process.

Of course the BBC lied, it’s in its nature to subordinate truth to political agenda. But this can surely wait – we need to concentrate on beasts pursuing their activities with public money.

Thanks. I do not care about legal issues here. Somebody will bring them up if they have a merit.

I do care this is the end of the BBC’s bullying of a pensioner. Because we all are, that pensioner.

This is pure gold.

Are there not any legal issues with what they’ve done? Lying to prevent an FOI request being answered? Lying in court?
