昨天,英国广播公司(BBC)以一种极其不光彩的方式,登上了几乎各大外媒的头条:BBC承认骗访戴安娜,凭借谎言,毁了戴安娜的人生。
戴安娜的两个儿子威廉和哈里怒斥BBC:你们导致她失去了生命!
《金融时报》:威廉王子因处理巴希尔对戴安娜的采访斥责BBC
《纽约时报》:25年后,BBC为当年采访戴安娜道歉
《时代周刊》:时代周刊对BBC采访戴安娜的观点:令人震惊的失败
BBC道歉承认文件造假:
可以全面、无条件道歉
对此,BBC现任总裁戴维(Tim Davie)承认,当时采访的过程在诚信方面远远没有达到观众的期待。BBC无法将时钟拨回到25年前,但可以对此事做出“全面、无条件的道歉”。
…it is clear that the process for securing the interview fell far short of what audiences have a right to expect. We are very sorry for this.
While the BBC cannot turn back the clock after a quarter of a century, we can make a full and unconditional apology. The BBC offers that today.
In a statement, Bashir apologised for mocking up the documents, but said he remained 'immensely proud' of the interview.
目前,由于持续的健康问题,现年58岁的巴希尔上周辞去了在英国广播公司的编辑职务。

威廉、哈里怒斥BBC:
夺走了母亲的生命!
由于这次采访是母亲婚姻破裂、遭遇横祸的诱因之一,戴安娜的两个儿子威廉和哈里对BBC的道歉并不买账,二人均作出回应,抨击该事件对戴安娜造成的巨大伤害。

据美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)报道,英国威廉王子直指BBC在其母亲去世前的几年里,“极大地加剧了她的恐惧、偏执和孤立的状况”。
Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, has lambasted the BBC for contributing 'significantly to her fear, paranoia and isolation' felt by his late mother, Princess Diana, in the years before her death…
“但最让我难过的是,如果BBC对1995年首次提出的投诉和担忧进行适当调查,我母亲就会知道她被欺骗了。她的情况变得糟糕不仅是因为一个流氓记者,也与BBC领导们的视而不见有关。”
'But what saddens me most, is that if the BBC had properly investigated the complaints and concerns first raised in 1995, my mother would have known that she had been deceived. She was failed not just by a rogue reporter, but by leaders at the BBC who looked the other way rather than asking the tough questions,' he said.
与此同时,戴安娜的小儿子哈里也发表了一份声明,痛斥BBC“利用他人、不守道德”的不正之风,并称此类情节至今仍在传媒行业广泛盛行。
“剥削文化和不道德行为的连锁反应最终夺走了我母亲的生命。”他慨叹:“我的母亲已为此失去了生命,却什么都没有改变。”
William's brother -- Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex -- issued an equally emotional statement after the report, saying, 'The ripple effect of a culture of exploitation and unethical practices ultimately took her life.' “Our mother lost her life because of this, and nothing has changed.”
据美联社消息,1995年,BBC当时的一档节目《全景》(Panorama)曾对戴安娜王妃进行过独家专访。
就是在这次采访中,戴安娜王妃透露自己与查尔斯王储的婚姻中“有三个人,太拥挤了”。
事实上,早在1996年,BBC就对此事发起过内部调查,而先前的调查认定巴希尔的欺骗行为并非戴妃同意受访的决定因素。当时牵头这项调查的负责人正是之后成为BBC总裁的托尼·霍尔。
在那次调查中,霍尔直接跳过斯宾塞,对该事件仓促盖棺定论,还称赞巴希尔“诚实体面”。
近年来,BBC重启调查,并于2020年11月宣布,资深退休法官戴森勋爵将负责这项独立调查。
戴森在调查报告中写道,BBC有意遮掩巴希尔的行为,“未能达到该机构标榜的高度诚信与透明度”。
