Princess Diana's brother has accused the BBC of a 'whitewash' over faked bank statements said to have helped land a historic interview with her.
In a devastating letter, Charles Spencer expressed his outrage at the institution's 'sheer dishonesty' and accused Martin Bashir, who secured the sensational interview for Panorama in 1995, of 'yellow journalism'.
Earl Spencer also told director-general Tim Davie that Bashir showed him falsified bank accounts purporting to show – entirely wrongly – that two senior courtiers were being paid by the security services for information on his sister, in the hope it would win him an introduction to the princess.
Accusing the BBC of failing to accept the 'full gravity of the situation', the earl is demanding the BBC formally open an inquiry into the case.
He says the corporation owes both himself, the viewing public and, most importantly, the late princess a posthumous apology for the wholescale deception by a journalist working for its flagship news programme.

I don’t want to be too overly obvious... But has anybody ever heard of the term... ‘Water under the bridge’?
This beats that.... This is water ‘over’ the bridge. Your sister has been dead for over two decades, enough already!
At first I thought I didn’t care, but if it leads to the ruin of a lying slimeball “journalist” I do find myself caring.

As long as Martin Bashir has a job I don't consider his recommending someone take a crap in Sarah Palin's mouth as something worth forgetting about.
That's not only unforgettable, but also unforgiveable!
I am SO SICK of hearing about Princess Diana. I wish she was dead. Oh, wait . . . Sorry. Never mind.
It wasn’t posted on FR because of dead princess. It was posted because of a live dirtbag journalist who currently at BBC news. He shouldn’t be running a paper route much less any position of responsibility at a news channel.
