I wouldn't put Simon's paper-tablet stunt in the same category as greeting your viewers with a middle finger. If this is supposed to be acceptable, and not cause ''outrage'' or fuss, then what's stopping Christian Fraser from mooning the viewers at the start of The Context tonight??? Maybe we should accept that as well, if it's just him having some fun, at work, with his colleagues.  

Once again, I don't think Moshiri should be fired, replaced or anything like that. Suspension or some sort of warning will probably happen since the story has gone international now and BBC is already under a lot of pressure from all sides. But there are certain rules and ways to behave at the work place, especially if you're working on tv and broadcasting to hundreds of thousands around the world. There is a special responsibility this job carries with it. Most news presentes seem to understand this.

Sanctimonious drivel. And you still haven't answered my question as to how you know she wanted it to go viral.

Because you don't. Because confected outrage is more fun.
