The BBC is in meltdown today after director-general Tim Davie and Deborah Turness, chief executive of BBC News, quit last night following a series of scandals at the corporation.
An impartiality row rocked the national broadcaster after an internal report accused it of bias, censorship and doctoring footage of Donald Trump.
The corporation has also come into the firing line over its reports of the war in Gaza and transgender issues.
Mr Davie admitted mistakes had been made, adding: I have to take ultimate responsibility, while Ms Turness added the buck stops with me.

Trump launches new broadside at 'corrupt' BBC journalists
Donald Trump last night condemned the 'corrupt' BBC as he tore into director-general Tim Davie after he resigned in disgrace over a doctored video.
Mr Davie and Deborah Turness, chief executive of BBC News, sensationally stepped down amid an impartiality row which has rocked the national broadcaster after an internal report accused it of bias and censorship.
The US President described Mr Davie and BBC journalists as 'very dishonest' as he launched a new attack against the scandal-hit corporation.
Mr Trump's speech on January 6, 2021, was edited in a Panorama documentary to make it appear he told supporters he was going to walk to the US Capitol with them to 'fight like hell'.
He branded the broadcaster a 'terrible thing for democracy' and said its 'corrupt journalists' had been exposed.
