Summary:
George Entwistle was the Director General for the BBC which
is the largest Public Service Broadcaster in the world and denied being aware
of an investigation into Lord McAlpine who was falsely accused of being a child
abuser. He then made the comments to BBC trustees, including its chairman Lord
Patten, following his disastrous appearance on Radio 4's Today programme on
Saturday 10 November to answer questions about the BBC2 programme's aborted
investigation of sexual abuse by the late TV and radio star Jimmy Savile.
Later that day, he handed in his resignation after a mere 54 days in the job.
Opinion:
I think that the pressure that Entwistle was under was
immense and forced him to leave his job so early into his contract. Also, the
fact that the press have been following him and even followed him to his home
door which shows the lack of respect that they have for him which could be
construed as an invasion of privacy which is something that everyone in the UK
is entitled to.
