BBC staff took out an ad supporting Dyke.

This is from my cousin, who is a radio sound technician at BBC:

Thousands of us took out an ad in the widest-circulated broadsheet paper on Sat saying:


"The following statement is from BBC employees, presenters, reporters and contributors. It was paid for by them personally, not the BBC itself.

Greg Dyke stood for brave, independent BBC journalism that was fearless in its search for the truth. We are resolute that the BBC should not step back from its determination to investigate the facts in pursuit of the truth.

Through his passion and integrity Greg Dyke inspired us to make programmes of the highest quality and creativity.

We are dismayed by Greg's departure, but we are determined to maintain his achievements and his vision for an independent organisation that serves the public above all else."

1. Nice....BBC is getting railroaded for this

Blair the liar needs a patsy(fall guy), and it's the BBC.

2. Good for them!

Since Huttom report concluded that the BBC was to blame and not Tony Blair, I've been wondering who the biggest wusses are; the US or England. I'm sad, but glad to see that journalists still retain their love of truth in some parts of the world...

3. What's your cousin's prognosis?

Does he think the BBC will overcome this? It seems like many people see the report as a whitewash. What does your cousin say about that?
