I've never understood why people think this so unbelievable and ridiculous. It's called accountability, it shows the strength of having independent teams. The BBC is not some homogenous being that can't criticise itself – it's an organisation of teams and departments. Of course one arm can report on another arm, especially it's we're talking about soemthing that happened decades ago. That's healthy.
That may well be, but they're all still operating under the same brand and they wouldn't want to "stir the pot" too much in case it had negative repercussions for them, too. Remember, if the BBC goes, then they'd be out of a job!
