Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakawakia te BBC mo te "whakamahinga" i muri i tana whakaaetanga i te Charles Kennedy e haurangi ana ki te whai wāhi ki te Wa Whakautu. Ko te kaiārahi o mua o te Liberal Democrat, he hītori o ngā raruraru ki te waipiro, i whakakorikori i te whakaaturanga kōrero i te Rāhoroi, ā, i te āhua nei kei te uaua ia ki te whai i ngā tautohe a ētahi atu manuhiri i runga i te rōpū. He pōhēhē, he pōhēhē hoki ōna whakautu, he pōhēhē te whakamāramatanga o ngā kōrero a ētahi atu mema o te rōpū, ā, ka whakaoho i tōna maihao. I whakarere a Mr Kennedy i te rangatira o te roopu i te tau 2006 whai muri i te ngaro o te tautoko a nga Mema i muri i tana whakaaetanga a te iwi he raru inu ia. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I whakahē ngā kaimātakitaki i te BBC i muri i te whakautu pōhēhē a Charles Kennedy ki ētahi pātai i pātaitia ki a ia. Ko te kaiārahi o mua o te Lib Dem, he tangata haurangi e ora ana, i tohu i tana rōpū i runga i te whakaaturanga inanahi. Ko Mr Kennedy, MP mo te nohoanga kaainga o Ross, Skye me Lochaber, i runga i te paewhiri inanahi i te taha o te minita Conservative a Anna Soubry, te mema o te Labour a Lucy Powell MP, te kaiarahi Green a Natalie Bennett me te kaituhi o Private Eye a Ian Hislop mo te tautohetohe i kiriata i Leeds. I kōrero ia mō te whakapaunga ārai, i matapae i tētahi kāwanatanga iti i muri i te pōtitanga, ā, i hoatu i ōna whakaaro mō te kohikohi mōhiohio mō te hunga whakapae whakawehi. I muri mai ka tohaina e ia tetahi korero mo Jeremy Clarkson e maka ana i te Biro ki Ian Hislop, e kii ana: 'I reira ahau. He mea pono. I kite ahau i a Mr Hislop e tuku toto ana.' I te pātai ki tana whakaaro mō te whakatārewatanga o Clarkson, ka mea ia: 'Jeremy Clarkson, te heke mai, he tino tōrangapū tōrangapū tenei, engari, te mutunga o Gone With The Wind, e taku hoa aroha, kaore au i te whakaaro.' E mārama ana kua whakaae a Mr Kennedy ki te puta i runga i te hōtaka i muri i te whakatata atu ki a ia e te BBC tika, ā, kāore i whakaingoatia hei kaikorero mā te Lib Dem HQ. I kii tetahi puna Lib Dem: "I tino marama kaore ia i te rite ki a ia i te po o inanahi". He tokomaha o te hunga e matakitaki ana i te whakaaturanga i haere ki Twitter ki te tohu he pohehe te whiriwhiri a te kaihautū o te hōtaka. I kii te kaituhi tamariki me te kaitoi a Michael Rosen: "Ki taku whakaaro kaore te BBC e tiaki i te ahuru o...
Ka hoatu e te MP o Rōpū Mātauranga he whakautu taupatupatu ki ngā pātai i roto i te tautohetohe pouaka whakaata. Ka whakaohoohohia e ia te maihao ki nga kaitohutohu, ka whakapae i a ratou e korero ana i te 'kino' E whakahe ana ngā kaimātakitaki ki te BBC mō te tuku i a ia ki te whakaaturanga matua. Ko Mr Kennedy te māngai o te Lib Dems i te taha o ngā mema o Labour me Tory. I te tau 2006, i whakaae ia he raruraru inu ia, engari i mea kua 'whakatika'
