Dodgy behaviour by the BBC.
Despite being one of the main players in the drama, anyone searching for “Hutton inquiry” or “Hutton report” on the UK’s most popular search engine Google is automatically directed to a paid-for link to BBC Online’s own news coverage of the inquiry.
No other news broadcaster or any newspaper has paid Google for this facility, leaving the corporation’s move even more conspicuous.
As one of the chief “interested parties” in the Hutton inquiry into the apparent suicide of Dr Kelly, the move will strike many as worthy of comment, not least because the BBC’s online news pages will not be the most obvious place to go for the most comprehensive coverage, which is bound to include painful criticism of the corporation.
Oh, the chairman has just resigned.
“Gavyn Davies” - that sounds like a Welsh name to me.
One of the excellent things about the BBC Newsteam is that even in this time of crisis, they have indeed reported fairly and accurately the outcome of the Hutton report, even though it has been highly critical.
