'Prominence'

A piece by Adam Sherwin for The Independent says some BBC journalists believed leading on the Lineker/Braverman row rather than the substantive 'illegal migrants' story was justified by some sort of cock-eyed view of 'balance'. 

"Editors ensured the Lineker story was accorded the same prominence as the row over BBC Chairman Richard Sharp’s involvement in facilitating a loan to Boris Johnson. That affair had also led BBC News bulletins, despite causing embarrassment for senior executives."

If that's the quality of thinking currently coming from Turness/Munro/McAndrew triumvirate, then Tim Davie needs to get into the transfer market.
