BBC stages investigation as public trust plumets

So in order to restore that trust the BBC sets up a panel to investigate - and stacks the deck with BBC people.

"The survey comes ahead of a media debate at this year's Edinburgh TV Festival, called Trust Me... I'm In Telly, to be held on Friday.

The panel will be chaired by broadcaster Nicky Campbell, who will be joined by Channel 4 chief executive Andy Duncan, BBC Vision director Jana Bennett, media journalist Ray Snoddy, ITV director of TV Simon Shaps and the chief creative officer of Endemol UK, Tim Hincks."


Four of those six either work for the BBC now or have in the past.

Nicky Campbell, Raymond Snoddy, Andy Duncan, and BBC Vision director Jana Bennett.

Sound familiar?

2005 - Days after 7/7 the BBC hosts an on air discussion to gauge the public's reaction the Muslim terror bombings - and stacks the audience with Muslims 5 to 1 against non Muslims.

BBC appoints former BBC executive for "independent" investigation of the BBC.

Head of Ofcom investigating BBC is former BBC exec.

Oh, it gets worse.
