Previous British Broadcasting Corporation Consultants Undergo MPs' Inquiry After Allegations of Prejudice in Disclosed Memo
We open with questions from Tory Member of Parliament Caroline Dinenage, who oversees the committee.
She initiates by offering background to the unauthorized memo written by Michael Prescott and printed in a national newspaper.
"I do not desire the BBC tilting in any particular direction, I just want it straight, impartial and just," he declares.
Upon being questioned whether he thinks the BBC is institutionally biased, the adviser answers: "No, I do not. It is important to note, tons of stuff the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is world class - encompassing documentary and entertainment shows."
However, he continues: "There remains significant effort that must be undertaken at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
Another ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation specialist interviewed by the committee, Caroline Daniel, states she takes the BBC extremely earnestly and that it has a "ongoing system and vigorous discourse" regarding fluid and multifaceted topics.
"Whether the BBC was prepared to have a proper discussion and argument and implement changes?" she asks herself. "As I see it, yes they were."
