Former BBC News Controller Craig Oliver has described the BBC as being in disarray and lacking leadership following the resignations of Director General Tim Davie and News Chief Executive Deborah Turness. Both stepped down amid allegations that a Panorama documentary misleadingly edited remarks by former U.S. President Donald Trump to imply he incited the 2021 Capitol riot. Oliver told BBC Radio 4 that the corporation is “leaderless and adrift,” and criticized BBC Chairman Samir Shah for not taking stronger action to stabilize the organization. The crisis has deepened as questions grow over editorial bias and accountability within the public broadcaster. Tim Davie admitted “mistakes were made,” while Turness called her resignation a “difficult but necessary” decision. Analysts say the turmoil threatens the BBC’s credibility at a time of global scrutiny.
