Martin Bashir Was Not Rehired to Cover Up Princess Diana Interview Scandal, Review Finds – Global Bulletin
Naman Ramachandran A BBC review set up to establish the facts around the decision to appoint Martin Bashir as religious affairs correspondent in September 2016 has found that the tainted journalist was not re-hired to cover up the controversy around his infamous Princess Diana interview on the “Panorama” program.The review was conducted by former BBC nations and regions director Ken MacQuarrie.“Although there were some shortcomings in the process by which he was re-employed, I am satisfied that that he was ultimately appointed because his knowledge and experience were considered to be the best match to the requirements for the role at that time,” MacQuarrie said.
