BBC Production - out of control

Today's apology from the BBC for suggesting that the queen stormed out of a photo shoot through imaginative editing is the latest of a long line of sagas which suggests to me that the BBC is out of control.

The unprecedented and disgraceful coverage and advertising they have given Alastair Campbell's incomplete diaries, the manipulation of a Blue Peter competition and the admittance that the BBC has an institutional left-wing bias all contribute to the argument.

I am starting to think we would be better off without them.
