BBC Hoist On Own Peturd

Now the Saville debacle is engulfing the BBC perhaps they will lose some of their enthusiasm for home affairs select committees or whatever the Levenson thingy is?Their obsession with media wrongdoing re Murdoch will of course not extend to self examination of their own orgyan stables.Already they have gone on the defensive accusing the culture secretary of 'politicisation' of the affair.It is almost as if the word chutzpah was invented for the BBC.When it is caught bang to rights it expects a whole different set of value judgements to be applied.Its over developed sense of exceptionalism and denialism has a pathology all of its own.And is it not absurd for BBC journalists to seek to put a totally fictional distance between themselves and the organisation,talking about it in the third person as if they were not broadcasting from its very putrid bowels when discussing the Saville debacle!Cognitive disonnance on stilts or what?
