Climategate rolls on

Just for the record Nomad is a sceptic but even so this blog is not intending to take sides on Climategate. The value of this scandal to us however, is what it is revealing about how the BBC works.

A new post from Delingpole supports an earlier story you read here. In short the BBC holds a conference to decide on the editorial line. It then packs the conference with people from one side of the debate. The process is rounded off with a policy statement about how even handed the BBC will be.

This quote from Richard D North confirms what we always suspected. "I was frankly appalled by the level of ignorance of the issue which the BBC people showed. I mean that I heard nothing that made me think any of them read any broadsheet newspaper coverage of the topic (except maybe the Guardian and that lazily)."
