So, heads must roll.
Heads have been duly sentenced to roll ... but not yet.
After all, this is the BBC.
We must have a proper handover, otherwise the poor benighted staffers wouldn't have a clue what to do without somebody to tell them!
Really?
Isn't that exact attitude part of the problem?
What parts of "truthful" "accurate" "balanced" and "unbiased" do the staff at the BBC not understand?
To which we might add "clearly distinguish fact from opinion" and "quote sources".
I'd wager that there's more than a few who would be delighted to be allowed to get on with the job without interference from what has hitherto passed for "leadership".
It's not rocket science. Those that don't "get it" should all go, and go now. Cancel the licence fee, stop the money, clear the decks. There are others who will fill the void without need for financial subsidy, who pay their way by charging for their services. At least that way we the customers can stop our part of their funding as we see fit, no questions asked, no hand-wringing, no pontificating, no parliamentary huffing and puffing, no long-drawn enquiry to "find out what went wrong" and "identify lessons learned".
We know what went wrong - they falsified their reporting. Deliberately. In any public service media organisation, that has to be a capital offence.
It may well also be a criminal offence, or may involve civil offence such as slander or libel.
