Re: [Swprograms] [Internetradio] Trouble at the BBC

Its a huge news item in the UK, we are so proud of the BBC and have been since the 1920s. We pride ourselves in its integrity and honesty.

The degree to which this appears to have shaken the BBC is analogous to the collective shudder we had here in PA over the Penn State University / Jerry Sandusky matter.

If this had been 1-2 years ago it wouldn't have mattered as much at the World Service given its separation from the rest of the BBC, but with the melding of the WS into the rest of the Beeb it becomes more problematic.

Thanks for posting the link, Rich. Many reactions come to mind. The width and breadth of these scandals is amazing. The breakdown in the checks and internal controls is disturbing. I wonder how many similar instances in major media organizations go undetected: any, a few, many?
