Yeah the Director General probably had to take the fall. You could let him off the fact that Newsnight broadcast the story in the first place. He couldn't be seen to have tried to exert pressure on the news division and had the story been true he probably could not to be seen censoring another story about a suspected child abuser.

However the answer that finish him when he said he was unaware that Newsnight had named a senior Tory. That was amazing. A week after the broadcast when the issue had blown up in the week and he was unaware? How could he? It was on news programs, the newspapers and all over the BBC.
