More than half of yesterday's Feedback on Radio 4 was devoted to the thoughts of redundant presenter Mark Mardell; BBC News executives declined the opportunity to comment.
He focussed on closure of reporters posts dedicated to Radio 4 current affairs programmes, like Today and The World At One.
'We have to make difficult and harsh cuts, and if I truly believe that the only fat on the bone, the only thing that could be cut, was reporting, and the programme's budgets, then I say that's a great shame and does great damage, but we've got to do it to survive.
'But is there no other way that the BBC can make cuts? Is there nowhere that any of the five or six people that have "head" and "news" in their title can look and see other areas where there's too much fat on the body of the BBC? "
