Well, we seem to have a new public enemy no 1 - step forward former BBC journalist Martin Bashir.
Is he really the only journo to tell some porky's to gain some kind of scoop.

Bloody hell, we've had phone hackers galore and yet this guy is now being blamed for all of the wrongs in the world.

Surely, Prince Charles sleeping with Camila before, during and after his marriage to Di was the biggest crime here and not some bloke using underhand tactics to set up an interview ?

The sheer brass neck of the tabloids who are now banging on about journalistic ethics!

The People’s Princess wanted to get her story out on record regards how she was shat on by the Royals. When Bashir came along with a platform for her, she jumped at it gleefully. :D

Hats off to Bashir and Diana.

The fact that Bashir lied to take advantage of a vulnerable woman doesn't concern you at all?
Be honest if it had been Johnson telling those lies and forging documents when he was a journalist would you be so blasé about it? I think not.

It's also the fact that various BBC execs covered up what he did, not just Bashir's questionable tactics.

Well strangely enough, we know that this is exactly what Johnson did do, and was fired for doing, when he was a 'journalist'.
Rightly, the BBC's staff at the time have been held accountable for this. When will the see-no-evil supporters of Johnson ever hold him to the same standard?

Sorry but the BBC re-employed Bashir. They won't name the producer of the interview who probably colluded in the deception. The BBC enquiry was a cover up at best. Who exactly has been held accountable? The tea lady?

Bashir has left the BBC. What more do you want?

Please forgive me for my cynicism when it seems you only want to hold accountable people whose opinions don't appear to match your own.

You still haven't told me who at the BBC has been held accountable. If you think how Bashir and the BBC behaved in this matter fair enough. I don't.
Sorry to disturb your echo chamber.

Comprehension is not your strong point, evidently.
