Listen "Why did a year-old documentary take down the BBC's director general?"
Episode Synopsis
It's just the latest seismic shock to rock the BBC: the resignation of Director-General Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness. The trigger was a Panorama documentary about Donald Trump, which a leaked memo revealed had 'spliced' together two parts of his 6 January speech, making it sound like a direct call to violence. Why did this controversy explode now? And what does it say about impartiality and political pressure at the corporation - and maybe even its future? We're joined by Dominic McGrath, UK correspondent with the Business Post. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
