Not only is there a total lack of evidence for this, what we have seen and heard over the past several days suggests if anything, the opposite. George Entwistle behaved as one who really did not want to know; possibly because he wanted to avoid knowing anything that would oblige him to change his schedules, possibly because as a senior BBC manager he didn't want to be seen to be interfering in an editorial process.
I'm curious though - when you say that the BBC's problems "seem to have been confounded by trying to cover things up," exactly what is it that makes it seem that way to you?
