Crisis at the BBC
Description
Yesterday evening, BBC director general Tim Davie resigned, as first reported in the New Statesman by our new political editor Ailbhe Rea, along with his head of news, Deborah Turness.
In the end, it came down to a Panorama documentary accused of featuring a misleadingly edited speech by Donald Trump.
But, having weathered years of BBC scandals, could Davieās departure be described as death by a thousand cuts?
Oli Dugmore is joined by Hannah Barnes to discuss.
