If the quote below really is from the BBC letter, then it's a complete joke:
Quote:"It is the Commissioner's view that the ultimate purpose of the derogation (Schedule 1) is to protect journalistic, artistic and literary integrity by carving out a creative and journalistic space for programme makers to produce programmes free from the interference and scrutiny of the public."
How can "creative and journalistic space" be guaranteed by ensuring that "programmes (are) free from the interference and scrutiny of the public"?
That's just nonsense.
Not if its meant to be propaganda!
