The Great BBC coverup conspiracy

Ray Snoddy writes in the Independent.

First Ray wants you to know that it's not just the BBC, the whole industry is at it.

"The entire UK broadcasting industry stands condemned of deceiving the audience in the most cynical way. There is no easier way to put it – and an absolute need to say it again and again."


The BBC are doing just that in hopes of taking some heat off them. Let's not forget, this is the BBC we're talking about; the public broadcaster funded by us tax payers.

Ray hammers home the point again "The recent events at the BBC mean that every single terrestrial broadcaster has been caught treating viewers with utter contempt." But not in the scope and scale as with the BBC, Ray.

As a result of the revelations, Ofcom is forced to investigate. But who heads Ofcom?

"Richard Eyre, a former deputy chief executive of BBC News, found that there was a "systemic" compliance failure by broadcasters using premium-rate phone calls and that, at least as far as the commercial broadcasters were concerned, revenue generation was a major driver of premium calls."


A former BBC executive!!

Even though a former BBC executive is going to investigate the BBC, the BBC aren't content with that and have launched an independent inquiry. Guess who's heading up that "independent" investigation? Another former BBC executive!!

"Will Wyatt, the former BBC Broadcast chief executive, will conduct the independent inquiry into the fiasco. The BBC announced the establishment of an Editorial Standards Board to oversee its response to the phone-in scandal."


In full denial mode, Ray offers us this:

"There must be at least one sigh of relief to be heard at the BBC; that its journalism – neither news nor current affairs – has not been dragged centre-stage into the unfolding scandals, at least so far.

Dodgy phone-lines and competitions are shocking and unacceptable, but deceptive news would be quite another, much more serious, matter."


Yes it is Ray and contrary to what you claim, the BBC's news is deceptive.

Ray concludes that it's all over now and we should all move along.

"The wise course now would be to draw a line under such unacceptable behaviour by broadcasters and concentrate on making sure that nothing like it ever happens again."


You and the rest of the BBC would like nothing more Ray. We can only hope that the genie is truly out of the box and the entire BBC will be exposed for the left wing propaganda machine that it is. As for Ray Snoddy...

"Raymond Snoddy presents NewsWatch, the BBC viewer access programme"

And let's not forget, the two top men at RDF, the production company responsible for the fake Queen video, are former BBC men.
