Of course, this means Frei and his researchers failed because they didn't bring this up to him. Yentob and La Camilla essentially sacrificed the well-being of "hundreds and thousands" of at-risk youth for their own egos.David Preisernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-50679299346651502812015-08-07T05:10:59.052+01:002015-08-07T05:10:59.052+01:00Newsnight's interview with her was a joke. The...Newsnight's interview with her was a joke. The preceding filmed segment was almost a parody of investigative journalism. One solitary case of a 22 year-old staff member allegedly taking advantage of 16 - 18 year-old girls, over 19 years? One incident of some kid hitting a staff member that wasn't reported? That's it? She easily batted those away. She's been hearing the same questions all day, so it was like batting practice.<br /><br />Then Wark goes into the financial stuff, asking the exact same questions, practically verbatim, as Humphrys did this morning. She even tried to use the same "cut your cloth" metaphor that he used, FFS. It's so lazy. Coordination across the spectrum of broadcasting? What coordination across the spectrum of broadcasting? The BBC is too big and disorganized for that to happen. Yeah, right.<br /><br />Naturally, Ronnie B-...sorry....Camilla had the answers already prepared. What a phony production. All stage craft and no substance, a pretense at asking challenging questions and investigating. I'm sure there's no relevance to the fact that three of the top Beeboids are on the Kids Company board.David Preisernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-50321360623159602582015-08-06T21:19:24.165+01:002015-08-06T21:19:24.165+01:00Having seen tonights Channel 4 News, I can well se...Having seen tonights Channel 4 News, I can well see why Yentob was held back.<br />Like other BBC bigwigs-he`s a PR disaster.<br />Matt Frei-a liberal toady inclined to suck up to the likes of Kids Co-eviscerated Yentob, simply by asking questions that any "Creative Director" of a cheridee ought to be able to answer.<br />But Yentob sees himself as beyond mere questions from the lower orders...and simply had no answers except that he was virtuous, and not to be asked impertinent things that prevented his virtue from being "challenged".<br />If you think Camilla is a kamikaze paintball on manoeuvres-Yentob is a veritable Barney Army nutjob.<br />The Left simply have never been questioned before-and to watch pink on rose attacks by fellow lefties seems to make them all shouty(Owen Jones)-or dissolve in their own tears like squonks.<br />Makes great telly though-the Left are finished.chrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198777332934873417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-7458066399067867922015-08-06T20:18:50.975+01:002015-08-06T20:18:50.975+01:00Maybe Yentob's intervention was really just ab...Maybe Yentob's intervention was really just about keeping his name out of it.<br /><br />And keeping the names of the other top Beeboids out of it as well:<br /><br />http://tradingaswdr.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/trustees.html<br /><br />(Bill Rogers' quiet little blog is another potentially rich vein)David Preisernoreply@blogger.com
