Matt Wardman of The Wardman Wire has written an excellent (albeit, quite long) critique* of the BBC’s defence of the Rowan Williams interview and their handling of it:
"The poor bloody Archbishop didn’t even get a chance to provoke any reaction. He was destined to be Barbecued – that was inevitable because you (or “someone in the BBC”) had already taken the actions to guarantee a firestorm before either your “careful, precise” interview (which is the main – irrelevant with respect to the response – exhibit in your defence), or his actual lecture (not a speech – a legal lecture to an audience of lawyers), was broadcast."
* I hate the term "fisking", it brings back bad memories of park-based frivolity.
