Former British Broadcasting Corporation Advisers Face Members of Parliament's Inquiry In the Wake of Allegations of Bias in Unauthorized Document
We open with questions from Conservative MP Caroline Dinenage, that oversees the panel.
She opens by giving details to the leaked memo prepared by Michael Prescott and printed in a daily publication.
"I don't want the British Broadcasting Corporation leaning toward one side or the other, My only wish is for it neutral, fair and just," he declares.
Upon being questioned if he considers the BBC is institutionally biased, the adviser answers: "No, I do not. To be clear, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is exceptional - including factual and non-factual content."
However, he continues: "There is real work that must be undertaken at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
Another ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation specialist interviewed by the committee, Caroline Daniel, states she regards the British Broadcasting Corporation very seriously and that it operates a "ongoing system and lively discussion" regarding fluid and multifaceted issues.
"Whether the BBC was willing to conduct a thorough discussion and exchange and implement changes?" she questions. "From my perspective, indeed, they were."
