Tortoise Media’s co-founder and editor James Harding said: “People say a newsroom is an argument on the way to a deadline.

Martin Bashir was not rehired by the BBC in 2016 to cover up for the deception he deployed in securing an interview with Princess Diana two decades earlier, an independent review has concluded.
Ken MacQuarrie, the BBC’s former director of nations and regions, was asked by BBC director general Tim Davie to examine the recruitment process that took place for BBC News’ religious affairs correspondent in September 2016, which culminated with the appointment of Bashir.
His re-hire has been branded “scandalous” in light of findings from Lord Dyson’s inquiry into the Princess Diana interview last month, which concluded that the former MSNBC anchor Bashir used fake bank statements to secure access to the Princess of Wales for Panorama in 1995. Dyson said it was a serious breach of BBC editorial guidelines.
In an 11-page review, MacQuarrie concluded that Bashir was recruited because “his knowledge and experience were considered to be the...

Hot off the news of a Season 2 renewal, History’s Project Blue Book is heating up as the first season is four episodes away from coming to a close. Early on, Project Blue Book had a case per episode structure, but as the first season has unfolded, the shadows of the intelligence community have increased, becoming one of the major subplots of the series. Air Force General Hugh Valentine (Michael J. Harney) and General James Harding (Neal McDonough), have stepped more into the spotlight of late as Dr. Allen Hynek (Aidan Gillen) and Captain Michael Quinn (Michael Malarkey) get closer to […]

Project Blue Book gets one of its most puzzling cases while the show continues to slide into mythological UFO conspiracy.
This Project Blue Book review contains spoilers.
Project Blue Book Episode 3
The latest episode of Project Blue Book centers around the mysterious case of the Lubbock Lights. Hundreds of local witnesses in Texas spotted strange lights in the sky, including scientists. The show preserves many of the salient aspects of this real-life UFO event, but there was a hard turn into make-believe land that is continuing to propel the show into conspiracy and intrigue. The show is venturing pretty deep into La-La land, which is entertaining, but I hope the facts don’t get too lost in a sea of conspiracy. Then again, that is what I’m here for.
The episode begins with a young man in a control tower flirting with a girl over the phone when suddenly...

Early in the “Project Blue Book” pilot, astrophysicist Dr. J. Allen Hynek (Aidan Gillen) is telling his wife Mimi (Laura Mennell) why he’s accepted a job debunking UFO sightings for the government. Sure, it’s an extra paycheck for their family of three, and no, he doesn’t have to give up his professorship at the Ohio State University. But the real reason he’s going to travel all over America, explaining away a different alien sighting every week, is because he wants to be recognized for disproving the existence of flying saucers.
Viewers know he failed. “Project Blue Book” is set in the 1950s and inspired by true events, and people are still prattling on about UFO sightings, so… well, you do the math. People may know Dr. Hynek’s name, but it’s clear he never achieved his goal and this show isn’t worth studying to understand why.
