BBC answers

I have received a reply to my questions (blog 9 November) about the "Impartiality Summit." It seems that it was advertised beforehand on the BBC Governors' website. Therefore it was not a secret summit as the Mail had suggested. I'm told a report on the summit, with full transcript, will be published next year. So it still remains to be explained why Mark Thompson chose to answer criticisms in the Mail - the source of the initial misinformation. And why did BBC News fail to pick up on it?

We will just have to wait till next year to find out what was said about the BBC bias against lgbt people.
