Thanks Searle,

That is some of the best analysis of the Hutton Report that I've seen. Last Friday, Greg Dyke, the sacked head of the BBC was a guest on PBS's NOW with Bill Moyers.

Dyke stated that the public does not believe the Hutton Report. Here's a snippet from the interview:

pbs.org

MOYERS: My sense is you may have saved Tony Blair in the sense that when the government came down on you so hard. And it was shown that there had been some mismanagement or some not quite accurate reporting. That this gave him a life raft.

DYKE: Except the public didn't believe it. If you look at all the figures, the public didn't believe the Hutton Report.

MOYERS: They believed you?

DYKE: Yeah. They believed… they heard the evidence themselves. This was an inquiry that was done in open public. And they didn't believe what Hutton then said.

MOYERS: Polls show that?

DYKE: Oh, yes. Overwhelmingly.

MOYERS: Anything happen since then to your viewership? Your listenership? Your audience?

DYKE: Well, the BBC's trust ratings have remained exactly the same. The government's have gone down. So, they've been going but I don't think you can put that the government's have been going down for quite some considerable time. I mean, Iraq has been a real issue in terms of trust for Tony Blair.
