It's Déjà vu on Newsnight

It's Déjà vu on Newsnight

He's gone...

She's gone...

Why hasn't he gone?


It's Déjà vu on Newsnight. Last night again the lead story was the stunt that went wrong. It dragged on and on and on for 25 minutes. The BBC suspending Jonathan Ross for 3 months without pay has cost him £1.5M, what a saving for the TV licence fee payers. That's one hell of a severe punishment, but I do question whether he is worth £125,000 per week in the first place. Then there is Lesley Douglas resigning. And what does the BBC do? It promotes the man directly beneath her in the line of management, and yet he also allowed the show to be aired!

If anyone should have gone, being editor in chief, surely it should have been the Director General of the BBC, Mark Thompson? Isn't this where the buck stops?
