The BBC know they have completely fouled up the GL affair.
They want the problem to go away. Getting GL and friends back in front of camera is a major part of normalising things in the hope the incident is forgotten.
I agree GB News would be a poor substitute for the BBC which at least tries to report news objectively, but I am unconvinced that a licence fee funded entertainment channel has any merit with both other TV and online content.
The days when the BBC were justifiably regarded as an innovative quality broadcaster are long gone. They have largely sunk to lowest common denominator output with little to commend them over commercial output (which actually does a better job in some cases).
