Former BBC Director General, Greg Dyke, On The Media-Political Opposition To Radical Change
#2
Dyke was forced out of the BBC over the tiny inaccuracy of BBC reporter Andrew Gillingan over the Dr. David Kelly affair.

This whole affair was, imo, a double victory for the Government of the day. Firstly, they covered-up a teling murder by presenting it as suicide and secondly they took advantage of a tiny detail of misreporting of the affair (the great bulk of Gilligan's report was accurate and factual) to out Dyke, who obviously was a thorn in their (and the Beeb's) side.

It's good to see Dyke take them on. Bravo to him.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14
