... I found follow-up comment interesting:

" Also, big business is behind the BBC, so no wonder stories are
twisted and lies told. "

... according to the Daily Mail, the BBC is run by Polly Toynbee and
Guardian readers! The statement might have been true in 1922 mind you

The idea that Big Business runs the BBC is highly chortleworthy (a
village in Devon?). If it were so the BBC would be shut down as
undesirable competiton. Where do these people come from?
I suspect Stephen Sackur, like most journalists, is an arts
graduate and was invoking poetic licence and probably quite sincerely
does not see the error he has made, or thinks it unimportant. On the
other hand he could have been acting as a journalist and saw a story
that could be exploited.
