The British Home Secretary Theresa May said he was right to go.
"Well I think it was the right decision that George Entwistle took last night to resign. I think it is a serious issue. I think there is a question of trust and credibility and rebuilding some trust and credibility into the BBC. It's a renowned national institution but also it has a worldwide brand as well."
So why has he gone? Well it follows a report nine days ago on BBC television's flagship current affairs programme Newsnight which implicated a former senior Conservative Party official in a paedophile scandal dating back to the 1970s. Lord McAlpine wasn't actually named in the programme, but his identity quickly emerged on social media. The trouble is the report was wrong. The victim who'd identified him to Newsnight admitted he'd made a mistake. Add to the mix the scandal over child sexual abuse carried out by the late BBC presenter Jimmy Savile and how Newsnight didn't broadcast the report commissioned into that, and we have something of a perfect journalistic storm.关于如下事实,英国广播公司(BBC)总裁,同时也是总编,我要对英国广播公司播出的所有内容负责,并且有关11月2日星期五《新闻之夜》所作的报导违背了新闻工作的道德标准,我已决定,我应该做的事就是辞去总裁的职务。
英国内政大臣特丽莎•梅(Theresa May)表示他辞职的做法是正确的。
“乔治•恩特威斯尔(George Entwistle)昨晚所做的辞职决定是明智的。我认为这是一件严肃的事情。这是一个关乎信任、信誉以及重塑英国广播公司(BBC)形象的问题。英国广播公司是一个国际知名机构,并且也是一个全球品牌。”
那为何他要辞职?据九天前的一个报导称,英国广播公司的王牌时事节目《新闻之夜》(Newsnight)曾暗示一名前保守党高级官员与一桩上世纪70年代的娈童癖事件有关。迈克阿尔潘爵士(Lord McAlpine)的名字并未被在节目中提及,但他的身份很快出现在社交媒体上。问题的关键就在于此报导失实。向《新闻之夜》指认迈克阿尔潘爵士性侵的受害人承认自己把他的名字弄错了。这一事件让已故BBC主持人吉米•萨维尔(Jimmy Savile)的儿童性侵案雪上加霜,为何《新闻之夜》不去调查吉米•萨维尔的(真实)事件(而去报导失实的事情),关于一场完美新闻风暴的发生,我们已略知一二了。
