Rosamund Urwin at The Sunday Times puts together the Novak Djokovic/Amol Rajan interview, the travails of 'We Are England', and the use of Alan Dershowitz as an independent legal expert on the conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell, into a "What is going on at the BBC?" thumbsucker.
The BBC response: “We don’t feel that highlighting a few unrelated pieces of output from across the BBC says anything meaningful about a 24-hour worldwide news operation.
“With a 30 per cent real-terms cut in income in the last decade job losses were inevitable and we’ve been sad to see colleagues leave, but we have put new structures in place to bring the BBC closer to its audience, with talented teams across the UK delivering the stories which matter.”
Rosamund suggests that the Djokovic interview might have been secured with the help of Freud Communications. Chairman Matthew Freud has previously been on the Business Advisory Board of the ATP. Freud Communications won a contract during lockdown to assist with 'reputation management' for the Government/Serco Test and Trace operation.
Our Amol failed to quiz his 'mate' Novak about his 80% ownership of a Danish bio-tech firm allegedly trying to develop a treatment for Covid 19.
