Which is the point I have been trying to make all along.
These stories are unique, which is why they make the headlines. Actually, no. They make the headlines only because the BBC-hating papers like the Daily Wail want to make a big thing about them.
There was a story a few years ago about the OTT expenses that BBC executives were on. When it was investigated (as all these things seem to have to be) it found that the expenses were really nothing out of the ordinary at all. It was just a big number overall.
In fact, that sounds eerily familiar

The last Director General was, by most accounts, a talented and capable man but was caught out by the crisis. He didn't really do anything too wrong until he claimed he hadn't read the papers about the Lord McAlpine scandal.

Exactly. He was hounded out by the anti-BBC press.

No-one could have survived the pressure he was put under by the anti-BBC press.
