Spot on @arusbridger.bsky.social: I’d wonder why such close editorial scrutiny should have been entrusted to 3 key people who rejected journalism... Who would you trust more to be impartial on the Middle East—Robbie Gibb, Michael Prescott or Lyse Doucet? www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

It is the BBC’s entire governance structure–rather than individual stories–that should cause most concern
