If you'd pulled your head out of your ass for five minutes re: current events this year, there's no way you would have scheduled Dershowitz for a report on the Maxwell verdict. That's losing your job carelessness in a newsroom.
Here's how it goes: Editorial and producer meeting to discuss events for this week. Upcoming Maxwell verdict checked off. Editor assigns staffer to get high profile interview, and I'll give them the benefit of doubt that Dershowitz name doesn't come up or name to avoid. Young staffer halfway reads reports and calls Dershowitz's agent. Dershowitz PR team jumps on chance to spin the story and agrees to interview. Staffer notifies editorial management of interviews. They approve. Dershowitz goes on air. BBC management sees it and social media comments and does a collective, "WTF?" Statement written and released. Heads roll.
Granted, this is occurring at lightning speed, but missives were going up and down the transom and someone should have caught it and stopped it.

The slime-ball was mouthing off on the Beeb earlier this year about the Weinstein trial and they couldn't shut him up. I suspect having him appear on the channel satisfies certain 'interests'. It stinks.

It stinks. It's a toss-up between Dershowitz and Giuliani on which one has sullied their name and reputation more in the last few years. Both of them let their little heads rule the big ones sitting on top of their necks. |

Dershowitz is such an oily scumbag. Also a plagiarist. Norman Finkelstein destroyed him on Democracy Now! years ago. |

Well, 'The Establishment', I suppose.
I'm not anti-Beeb by any means, but I'm sure there's an active policy in place that stops anything even vaguely anti-monarchy being aired. That would suggest that they have to be careful with anything that furthers the idea that Prince Andrew is guilty.

What Sloop said it was happened I suspect. I don't think giving this fella airtime is related to "interests" rather it's short sighted amateurism on the Beebs part but it certainly doesn't look good.
I wonder if Andrew has learned how to start sweating.

Dershowitz is the go to guy because he's one of the few the British public have heard of. |

I wonder if Andrew has learned how to start sweating. Who they should have gotten was the Miami Herald writer, Julie K. Brown, who broke and followed the story for years and is still writing about it for the Herald. Last year, she came out with a book, Perversion of Justice, detailing her journalism on the Epstein case and his original light sentence. If you want to know how up to his neck Dershowitz is on this, he tried to get Brown and Herald barred from Pulitzer prize candidacy. They did win the Polk award for investigative journalism on the case. |

What a disappointment. I expect so much more from the guy who defended OJ, Harry Reems & Claus Von Bulow :lol
