Following the Roan interview of Maguire which was another pro rag propaganda piece, I wondered if the interview was instigated and funded by united's PR department, so I wrote off to the beeb with a freedom of information request

Thank you for your request to the BBC of 28th August 2020 seeking the following information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’):

With regard to an interview with Harry Maguire, conducted by Dan Roan which was broadcast on the BBC One 10 o'clock news on Thursday 27th August 2020
I request two pieces of information
1/ In which country was the interview conducted?
2/ Who paid for Dan Roan's travel, accommodation and sustenance?
I look forward to you furnishing me with the information requested

The information you have requested is excluded from the Act because if held it would be held for the purposes of ‘journalism, art or literature.’ The BBC is therefore not obliged to provide this information to you and will not be doing so on this occasion. Part VI of Schedule 1 to FOIA provides that information held by the BBC and the other public service broadcasters is only covered by the Act if it is held for ‘purposes other than those of journalism, art or literature”. The BBC is not required to supply information held for the purposes of creating the BBC’s output or information that supports and is closely associated with these creative activities1
.

The limited application of the Act to public service broadcasters was to protect freedom of
expression and the rights of the media under Article 10 European Convention on Human Rights
(“ECHR”). The BBC, as a media organisation, is under a duty to impart information and ideas on
all matters of public interest and the importance of this function has been recognised by the
European Court of Human Rights. Maintaining our editorial independence is a crucial factor in
enabling the media to fulfil this function. However, the BBC makes a huge range of information
available about our programmes and content on bbc.co.uk.

Or to put it another way, the licence fee payer funded a pro Rag jolly for Dirty Dan but found a loophole to avoid answering your questions.

It's amazing that these plastic clowns are getting giddy about being 2nd and their arse licking chums in the media are trying to big them up into something they aren't.
I'm still waiting for a member of the scums 2011/2012 squad to show us their joint premier league winners medal.
Finishing 2nd for us is seen as a disappointment yet apparently we're a small time club that are forever in their shadow.

Yes it was incredulous Roan kept his job after the Leicester incident but no surprise given Aunties covering up skills.

I don't do Twitter but I understand that Roan is always on there posting political messages.
Aren't BBC employees procluded from making politically motivated comments in public and didn't their new chief say he was going to put a stop to this?
