BBC is a 'culture of deception'

That's according to an independent producer, David Cox.

"Mr Cox, an independent producer for the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, said that any kind of television, even news and current affairs, "have built in to them the idea of fabrication which is justified and necessary… but it can easily shade into what becomes, in some cases, a lie."

He dismissed the excuses of Mark Thompson, the BBC director general. "This springs from something deep, not - as Mark Thompson would have you believe - that this came about suddenly," he said."
