Just over 3 years ago, Selina Scott seemed keen to chastise the BBC for ageism and sexism, writing an article for The Telegraph.
Why this type of 'revelation' doesn't interest me very much is because she decided to work within this corporation for many years, and would have been aware of this facet from how she saw the BBC treated others.
Perhaps she thought she was such a 'star' that she wouldn't be subjected to the same treatment. Personally I think there are many other more serious issues to take the BBC to task for, the issue she raises smacks of self interest and promotion.
Even a few days ago she wrote another article 'knocking it to them', clearly seeing the opportunity while the battle between Thompson and Patten was raging over the pay-off scandal.
Today it comes out that the root of her present anger, particularly towards Mark Thompson, whom she had previously regarded as a friend, was being passed over to interview Prince Phillip, despite having set it up, in favour of Fiona Bruce. This happened 2 years ago.
Quite possibly her original article prompted the BBC to get their own back when the chance arose.
Shows the prevalent low level mindset of those within.
