This article is an amazing example of reporters (or their editors) afraid to actually report anything substantive.
Bare facts are given (some guy getting forced out at the BBC) for people already in the know to keep score. But for people not already in the know — absolutely nothing to educate them or give context on who is pushing for this ouster; whether there is a valid justification or just political infighting, etc.
All I am left knowing is, “uncomfortable shit of some kind is going down at the Beeb” and it feels Orwellian.
This article has a bit more information about the people involved: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/nov/09/tim-davie-expected-to-resign-bbc-director-general
Right wing bloodhounds sniffed out a few scraps and howled. Everyone needs to stay clean except the fascists in power, or else this happens.
