There was a time when the BBC was held up as an example of honest and quality broadcasting but now their good name seems to be tainted on an almost weekly basis by mistakes and misfits. The latest comes in the form of a ‘deception’ by Blue Peter, yes, I know it’s hard to believe. But it looks as though no broadcaster is above dirty dealings and the media watchdog – Ofcom – has fine the Beeb £50,000 for what it called “serious breaches” of the broadcasting code.
More on this can be read here on the Sky News site (perhaps not the most neutral site to read it on) http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-1274307,00.html
Will the Beeb recover from this knock? Yes, without a doubt BUT is this a sign of more problems to come at White City?

And they've hit a home since then with their HRH blunder!
Nice.
Lack of cohesion and direct leadership? Was Greg Dyke and Michael Grade better leaders of the BBC? Did they rule with an iron rod?
Or is it a case of too many fingers and too many pies?
