The BBC is facing a leadership crisis with growing doubts being expressed by senior corporation executives about the judgement of the Director-General Mark Thompson.
At a time when most of the BBC's journalists, including many of its best-known presenters, are out on strike, Thompson has been dealt a damaging blow by one of the most powerful figures in the BBC newsroom, who has accused the Director-General of undermining the organisation's reputation for impartiality.
Stephen Mitchell, deputy director of news at the BBC, told an audience at the University of Kent that Thompson's decision to sign a letter to Vince Cable, calling on the Business Secretary to intervene in the proposed takeover of BSkyB by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, compromised the ability of BBC journalists to cover an important story.
