In retrospect, Mark Thompson achieved something rather remarkable in stepping down as director-general of the BBC in September, after eight years in the job. His predecessor was forced out following a row over a report which implied that the government had overstated the case for war in Iraq. His successor, George Entwistle, lasted less than eight weeks before losing his job on November 10th. He was harmed by the BBC's clumsy decision not to run a report on Newsnight, a current-affairs show, that would have exposed Jimmy Savile, a recently-deceased presenter, as a serial sex offender. Then came another, worse report that wrongly pointed the finger at Lord McAlpine, a living man with access to lawyers. Soul-searching, recriminations and a spate of inquiries into what went wrong have ensued. Other executives have stepped down from their jobs giving the impression of a mighty ship without a rudder.
