BBC Self-Serving Platitude Watch (continued)

Coverage of the continuing labor problems at the Beeb is bringing out still more self-serving platitudes from the ethics-deprived hacks who work there. This one, for example, in an article from the equally noxious Guardian, is especially luscious:

Brendan Barber, TUC general secretary, said of the [job] action: "It
matters because broadcasting excellence, programme quality and journalistic integrity - all of the values the BBC strives for
- are at risk if these cuts go ahead as proposed."

Yessirree, that's a heck of a risk at the BBC. Keep on striving, bubby.
