This is the sort of thing that will stick. BBC's own presenters starting to publicly point out not only the Lineker case but highlight the Sharp problem.

The BBC has editorial guidelines. They do differ slightly between different sections of the BBC . I work in news so the rules are much stricter and rightly so because people do have to trust in the impartiality of the BBC's news output. The Director General has been very clear that impartiality is his priority and I have seen that play out with a focus that I have not witnessed before. One of the many questions raised by Gary and his tweets is while he has been asked to "step back" why is a man who is reported to have donated £400k to the Conservative Party still the Chairman of the BBC. I have been asked this many times now. If perception is important how will the BBC deal with that issue? I struggled with posting this because I felt fearful to do so. But then realised that this is a legitimate question that would be discussed on my show. I feel sad that I should feel fearful though. I believe in the BBC passionately but consistency is important.
