Be careful what you wish for!

As it happens I agree with you, historically the BBC has had an enviable reputation for impartiality, trustfulness etc. And even with the current issues, I still think it is far better than competitors on this.

But it doesn’t take too much for that trust to be lost; it does seem that recently, the BBC, maybe desperately to be extra impartial etc, has found itself held hostage by various interest groups who just wish to push their own agenda, and the BBC seems to be paralysed by fear to do anything about it.

It’s a failure of management, senior and middle, for not getting a grip on this before and allowing it to become the major issue that it never needed to be.
