Key conclusions of today s bombshell report that brought shame on the BBC
The BBC s global reputation has been badly tarnished by Martin Bashir s treatment of Princess Diana and the broadcaster s subsequent actions, a senior minister said today.
Culture minister John Whittingdale told MPs the probe into the 1995 Panorama interview scandal makes shocking reading as the Commons discussed the scandal.
He said that it details not just an appalling failure to uphold basic journalistic standards, but also an unwillingness to investigate complaints and to discover the truth.
The BBC today announced it will launch a review into the effectiveness of its editorial policies and governance as Radio 2 star Jeremy Vine called for a criminal inquiry into Mr Bashir s interview lies and the 25-year cover-up that followed.
