I've spent the last few weeks vociferously defending the BBC to all who would hear and pointing out that the failings they are being accused of and ripping themselves to shreds over in a downward spiral of defiantly proper behaviour, are barely significant in the world of modern media. What are they being slammed for? The actions of a nasty old pedophile, in their property 30 years ago? Surely some people should be held to account over it but they are either six feet under in a sparkly gold coffin or long, long gone employees.

Even if you vehemently feel they have transgressed standards with these two incidents, you'd have to admit the genuine gusto of their Mea Culpa and resulting actions
