I shun most things political and the like on here these days because it's pointless.
Hooever - The BBC / Diana / Bashir thing is absolutely mind blowing.
It's a genuine Gate!! |  |

I have never questioned the sometimes deplorable actions of the tabloid press.
I am criticising the holier than though BBC. Not everything is about taking sides. If you cannot see the scale of this then you haven't read Dysons report. |
I'm not sure why you're looking for an argument on this. The BBC covered it up which was wrong, and Bashir was an a-hole. I can't make my views on this any clearer than that. |  |

Listening to the Two Mikes and Mike Parry's podcast and the stories about working for Her Majesty's Gutter Press are pretty eye-opening. Fleet Street was a cesspit back then. |
I knew a guy who worked for one of the papers in the Fleet Street days and he got us a well paid gig DJ'ing at a leaving do at one of the papers. Genuinely can't remember which one it was now.
After wrestling the PA up two flights of very small tight stairs we set up and proceeded to play our way through the evening, it was in a set of Fleet Street offices.
If you're familiar with Life On Mars and Gene Hunt that had nothing on the way most of the blokes present acted, the girls brought in to do catering looked absolutely terrified and several of them sheltered where we had set up whenever they weren't required.
Cesspit would be about right for what I witnessed. |  |
