She initiates by offering background to the leaked memo prepared by Michael Prescott and printed in a daily publication. "I don't want the British Broadcasting Corporation leaning toward one side or the other, My only wish is for it balanced, unbiased and just," he declares. In response to a query if he considers the BBC is structurally prejudiced, the adviser responds: "No, I do not. To be clear, numerous aspects the BBC does is exceptional - including documentary and entertainment content." However, he continues: "There remains real work that needs to be done at the British Broadcasting Corporation." Another ex-adviser BBC adviser examined by the group, Caroline Daniel, says she takes the BBC extremely earnestly and that it maintains a "ongoing system and vigorous discourse" on dynamic and complex topics. "Was the BBC prepared to have a proper dialogue and exchange and act accordingly?" she questions. "In my view, yes they were."
