The BBC Chairman Richard Sharp recently resigned in controversial circumstances. He failed to declare how he helped former prime minister (PM) Boris Johnson to get a million-dollar loan guarantee. Johnson, the PM at the time, appointed Sharp to the top BBC job, and many in the UK are saying this is an example of Tory cronyism. And on top of all that, the Guardian, a prominent British newspaper has been accused of anti-Semitism after it published a cartoon portraying Mr Sharp (who is Jewish) as some kind of puppet master.
