One positive from the interview - I did think Nomia Iqbal's questioning was good, even if Davie dodged much of it.

BBC News in general have covered this story very carefully, of course, to avoid being drawn in to the impartiality debate as a department themselves, but it’s a real credit to the BBC that their News output is still of a high journalistic standard despite cutbacks. Nomia Iqbal is a credit to them.

I think in many ways BBC News have been waiting for this story to expose the pressures they're under.   Certainly the odd story here and there coming from former staff suggesting they were under pressure to be more sympathetic to the stories.

A shame really BBC News staff couldn't take the same stand when Emily Maitliss was similarly treated but understandable why that didn't occur.   I think sport has been left far more exposed by it's reliance on freelancers.
