The BBC are journalists and as such tbeir job is to go after news - that is a huge part of why we pay the licence fee. The police were wrong in doing a deal. There may be mitigating circumstances as apparently the BBC told them they were going to run a story anyway but there seems to have been some naivety and collusion on the part of the police. I don't think either side comes out completely unscathed but the police need some lessons in dealing with the media. And I feel extremely sorry for Cliff Richard, he has come out of all of this quite well, I feel. |
