I don’t have anything close to an analysis here
But the Hutton report, and its fallout, is utterly disgraceful, right? Not the report itself (I haven’t read it, although I do remember that, during the evidence collecting stage, plenty of damning facts against the government came out which have now been conveniently forgotten), but the BBC’s response. An unreserved apology to anyone they might have offended? Two resignations? Blair, of course, witters on about his respect for BBC independence, but I don’t see how this can fail to have a massive chilling effect on BBC news reporting.
A post on Crooked Timber offers some analysis I’m missing.
