The BBC, The Deceit & The Dyson Report.

[gordi]

A curious twist on this topic is that the BBC's "Royal Correspondent" Nicholas Witchell appeared on BBC TV this morning, stating that he worked on BBC Panorama programmes and that he had already been given the firm impression from Lady Diana herself that she would be more than willing to give him an interview relating to the very same topics that Bashir later covered in his interview with her... So why did the Panorama bosses decide to go with Bashir and the underhand, lies/deceit rather than with their respected correspondent Witchell and his above-board, with-consent and approval approach?????

Witchell himself seemed to be completely at a loss to understand why his own bosses (at BBC Panorama) told him to back off, when he had already secured Diana's willingness to participate in a one-to-one with him.
