George Entwistle resigns as BBC direct general
The BBC general (George Entwistle), has resigned because of the news night child abuse broadcast. Mr Entwistle admitted the News nights report which was later on led to the Thatcher-era Tory Lord McAlphine who was being wrongly involved and should have not been aired. Mr Entwistle has been the shortest serving BBC director general as he took up the post of the director general on 17th September where he had resigned.
Another enquiry has begun into the culture and practices at the BBC of alleged sexual abuse by Saville. Entwistle wanted £450,000 to leave which is the amount of a year’s salary even though he worked at BBC for 54 days!
‘News of George Entwistle's resignation has now reached all #BBC staff, and in just a couple of weeks' time it should reach George Entwistle.’ – People have been posting tweets on twitter about the resignation from George Entwistle where this tweet was from @bbcHIGNFY , this had 237 retweets and 29 favourites, whereas people are also tweeting about this giving their opinions.
‘Stupid women’ – Sally Bercow’s twitter account deleted after apparent hacker posts message criticising her. Lord McAlpine will be taking legal action against ITV’s this morning, Sally Bercow and any twitter users who wrongly named him as a paedophile, his lawyer has warned that the ‘Trial by internet’ must come to an end.
He has now disclosed he will be legal action against high profile tweeters including the Speaker's wife Sally Bercow, with some defamatory messages on the social networking site being reproduced more than 100,000 times. When asked to specify which Twitter members he intended to pursue for damages, he said: "There are a lots of them. Some of them are well-known.
Summary: Blaming Lord McAlphine and accusing him of something that he didn’t do was honestly senseless because George Entwistle announced this on Newsnight where people are watching and listening to, making him a so called ‘child abuser’ on live TV was in fact inappropriate especially when the accusation is false. People tweeting this topic was a big hit around twitter and people believing he was a paedophile made him feel insecure about this as people tweeted harsh comments, McAlpine has received £125,000 settlement with ITV and Phillip Schofield over the morning programme on 8th November which I think is essential as he was accused of something he didn’t do.
