BBC Misconduct: The British government and the blogosphere aren't the only ones critical of the BBC. A British fertility specialist whose practice of offering discounts for treatment if patients donate eggs to others was spotlighted on a BBC program says they're unethical:

"I find it ironic that the BBC should accuse me of acting unethically when they use journalistic techniques which breach their own guidelines. My lawyer looked it up, and according to their rules, they can only use undercover reporters when someone is suspected of criminal or highly antisocial activity. How do I fit into that category?" Professor Craft said his solicitor has sent a letter to Panorama, but he plans no further action.
