BBC NEWS | Politics | Dyke casts doubt on Hutton report
'Tessa Jowell' and the word 'Dyke' in the same headline:
"And she said the 2007 review of the BBC's Charter would have a far bigger remit than the Hutton Inquiry had had.
Ms Jowell issued an appeal for all sides to move on, and sought to calm worries the government could use the Hutton report to create a more subservient BBC.
'A BBC that is nobody's lapdog, that challenges government and raises debate - that is in all our interests,' she said. "
Well, if they do challenge Government they get slapped so hard they don't do it again for some time. Our current Government simply doies not allow anyone to criticise it. They complain that people are 'impugning the credibility of the Prime Minister'. Well, that's what journalists do in a free society.
Oh, and Alistair Campbell repeatedly said 'when i was in Government' during recent interviews. Mr Campbell, you were *never* in Govenrment. You were a Civil Servant. Not elected to your role never mind elected to represent a constituency in Her Majecty's Government.
Wanker.
