The people providing the report were not work experience trainees, and should have been able to be trusted to do their job properly. How far should the Newsnight producers have been expected to go in effectively doing the same research as the reporters were meant to have done. You have to be able to trust senior and seasoned staff to do their job properly and without bias. |
You really don't think it's a problem that the top guy didn't bother watching the flagship news programme that was already being given a kicking due to a sex abuse scandal? Imo he should've been looking closely at everything coming out of their office.
