BBC Fiasco

It is fascinating how the Channel Controller in the BBC refuses to take responsibility. As related in an article in the Guardian:

"As pressure mounted on the BBC yesterday, Mr Fincham repeated his determination not to resign. His fate may now hang on a crucial meeting between BBC trustees and the corporation's director general, Mark Thompson, due to take place next Wednesday."

An ex-BBC staff instead blames it on young people:

"Yesterday the row showed no sign of abating. Former BBC chairman Michael Grade, who now runs ITV, told the Today programme he saw a wider problem in broadcasting because an influx of young, inexperienced people."

Whether the BBC used an outside source like RDF is immaterial, the BBC is ultimately the broadcaster and the procurer of the programmes. The responsibility lies with them.
