BBC infighting the big news, while it struggles to recover from a credibility shock
The BBC's director general, George Entwistle, has resigned in the wake of the Newsnight child abuse broadcast. He said that as the man “ultimately responsible for all content, and in the light of the unacceptable journalistic standards” he would quit. Read full article

He apologised, a couple of days ago.
Try to keep up. If you are going to be a Troll, don't be a lazy fool.
Sorry Troy, I was busy watching your show Stingray, meanwhile your fellow Brit tories were busy in some North Wales care home abusing children..

Nov 12th, 2012 - 04:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0You had best post that link - if you think it is relevant and true.
At least things in Britain get reported and dealt with.
I am sure that the same or worse goes on in your country, Argentina.
I believe, that “Sussie” was on here whining for sympathy and 'understanding' because of his upbringing in cruel Argentina - he went on to cite abuse of infants and toddlers in Argentine daycares.
That was YOUR troll making the statements, and the Trolls are always truthful and correct, right ??
The fact that you revel in this sleaze exposes you as the odorous, morally bankrupt, slime that you are.
And no, I do not think you are witty.

Nov 12th, 2012 - 04:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0Suuure like Jimmy Savile, 300 victims, almost half a century later and after the predator died.
It is dealt with, not covered up. The courts will do their best.
Nov 12th, 2012 - 04:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Don't fool yourself that it does not happen in Argentina, maybe worse.
What happened to the children that Menendez stole from the Amerindians, during the ethnic- cleansing of the 70's??
I don't suppose we'll ever know. That was the Argentine government policy, officially sanctioned.
What kind of moral society could even conceive of this ??
Perhaps you were in the military and can tell us.
Your officers were discussing the advantages of complete genocide as a solution to the Falklands 'population problem'.
Too bad they were too much in a rush to surrender, to get around to it...
Changing the subject? Which Menendez officer? we have a whole collection of them in jail, Jimmy Savile ended his long abuse of British children not because justice was brought to him but because he died.
Nov 12th, 2012 - 05:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0It must be a slow night for La Campora.
Nov 12th, 2012 - 05:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0I am not at issue with you over Seville. It was reprehensible and everyone is trying to do what they can, in the aftermath.
This not condoned as acceptable behaviour.
Changing the subject? You yourself went off on a tangent of child abuse. The fact that you are reading about it shows that these things are not tolerated and will be exposed.
On the other hand,
Menendez himself was only arrested this year, 30 years after the Falklsnds, 35 years after the 'disappearances' and 'ethnic cleansing.'
Your government and society, far from treating him as a criminal, and investigating his actions when the “Mothers” could not be ignored, denied it.
Instead, he was later rewarded the highest position in your armed forces, installing his values on generations of the military. This was right ip until 2009.
Menendez was only arrested after he had retired 'honourably', a transparent attention-getter for CFK, needing to shore up her Populist support.
Perhaps you want to stay on the current subject instead of muck-raking, there is much that Argentina should not be proud of.
Go read up on the subject. You seem to get some morbid,perverse, pleasure from these sickening events. Doesn't say much for you.
TCC will always be remembered for their fine documents and excellent footage....
Nov 12th, 2012 - 06:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is not our finest hour. In my opinion as a license fee payer, Patten has to go too. He was responsible for appointing the inadequately motivated Entwistle to lead the bloated BBC hierarchy that he, Patten, now publicly recognises as being wholly inadequate to the task of running the BBC. Then to pay Entwistle twice the contracted amount to go is to rub salt into the wound. The lawyer who drew up Entwistle's contract also needs to find other employment; in the southern hemisphere perhaps.
Nov 12th, 2012 - 08:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0These establishment figures make me sick, Entwhistle should have gone already over Saville...
