BBC admits fake winners on charity appeals (staffers posed as winning callers on air)
BBC BOSS TAKES A BITE (Director General of the BBC bit colleague on the arm 17 years ago)
BBC in row over doctored TV footage with Gordon Brown (....made him look like a thug)
Craven at the BBC (Islam treated with fawning reverence, Christianity with near-disdain)
Swear box (BBC TV hits rock bottom with Jerry Springer The Opera - thousands of obscenities)
I’m not so sure what all the fuss is about....Dan Rather here in the USA would regard this as “a shining example of journalism at it’s best”
I know some immigrants (legal) from Russia, and they said kidnapping of Russian children and putting them up for adoption as orphans is quite a business. Kidnappers go after children with parents because they are well taken care of and healthy and don’t have adjustment issues that real orphans have. These kidnapped kids are much more adoptable. And, of course, they get them young enough so that they are cute as all get out....., and can’t speak yet, so they can’t tell anyone what is really going on.
My friends were terrified when they had to go to Moscow for any reason.
This doesn’t surprise me, and I do believe it.
The CNN of Britain.
Based on events in the last month...the Queen’s episode, the fake radio call-in winners, etc...the BBC is walking a very thin line. If this story goes through with proof showing they did offer money...the Chief of the BBC will have to resign, and probably the next two or three guys after him will have to go as well. The governor’s board that controls the situation...has little patience. Even the union within the BBC is shocked just sharp the board has become and they really don’t even care how the union reacts. If the Union wanted to go on strike...no one would care.
At the best, I’d say the present chief might slide out of this episode if firm proof can’t be shown...but he is simply waiting for the next episode. The public is fed up with the lack of confidence here.
This is probably posted elsewhere on FR, but sound like that reporter missed:

Sounds like something that that scumbag NYC mayor would do, like he did with the straw purchases of guns.
