The biggest scoop of Lord Birt’s term as BBC Director General - the Diana interview - was secured by deception. So why didn’t Tony Hall let his boss know he’d a smoking gun showing Martin Bashir was a liar. John Birt says he doesn’t know. @CommonsDCMS https://t.co/ypvTwMMOoG — PolitiTweet.org

The biggest scoop of Lord Birt’s period as editor-in-chief of the BBC was secured through deception and demonstrates a failure of the editorial processes he established at the Corp. This is precisely why we must rely on senior management to see past scoundrels. https://t.co/IwKNu6DhB7 — PolitiTweet.org

All of us at the BBC at the time remember just how many stories were circulating about Martin Bashir’s methods. But Lord Birt told me that despite his passion for news & close knowledge of the players, he heard nothing & had done no fact-checking himself. @CommonsDCMS https://t.co/HKtAiMZGro — PolitiTweet.org
