Ofcom is not currently equipped to regulate BBC, says trust director

A BBC Trust director has said that Ofcom is not equipped to regulate the BBC <br>
"A BBC Trust director has said that Ofcom is not equipped to regulate the BBC because it is held to a “different standard of accuracy and impartiality” than the broadcasting watchdog applies to commercial rivals."

“The BBC is consistently held to a different standard on accuracy and impartiality than other broadcasters,”

Alex Towers said that he is “agnostic” on exactly who should regulate the BBC – the BBC Trust, Ofcom, “OfBeeb” or a hybrid

This article explains how Ofcom isn't equipped to regulate the BBC because the BBC has a different level of accuracy that it produces to its audience. The writer also claims that he doesn't know who should regulate the BBC's stories, and that he wants to make sure everything is always reliable and factual. I agree with him.
