	Dyke: Blair's world of 'lies and bullying' - Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council
		Greg Dyke, former director-general of the BBC, today lays bare the astonishing inside story of the war waged by the Prime Minister and Downing Street against the BBC over its coverage of the Iraq war and the controversial issue of weapons of mass destruction.
		Dyke says John Scarlett, former head of the Joint Intelligence Committee who was promoted by Blair to head of MI6, had professed private doubts to a BBC journalist about the case for war.
		Dyke wrote to Blair saying the attack was a 'blatant threat to the funding and editorial independence of the BBC from a member of your Cabinet'.

	Greg Dyke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dyke resigned from the BBC on 29 January 2004 (as did Gavyn Davies and Andrew Gilligan), after the publication of the Hutton Report.
		The departure of Greg Dyke also has echoes of the removal of Hugh Greene in 1969, who fell from the favour of Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson (against a background of the Vietnam War), in part due to Greene's defence of robust reporting, as well as his support for provocative and controversial material.
		Dyke is a fan of Brentford Football Club and was appointed as non-executive Chairman of the club on January 20, 2006, following the takeover by the Supporters Trust, Bees United.

	Scotsman.com Living - Books - The political education of Greg Dyke
		It can not be comfortable for Dyke to remember that while he lost his job over the Kelly affair, the weapons inspector at the heart of the brutal battle between the BBC and the government lost his life.
		Dyke’s deepest regret, however, is in responding to one of Campbell’s letters within the time frame the former director of communications dictated.
		Greg Dyke may not have personally folded to political thuggery, but he has learned that even his verbal pugilism and wide-boy ways were as nothing to the power of the mandarins and the hierarchy of the political establishment.

		Greg Dyke is never too busy to e-mail the BBC's staff and tell them how he is getting along.
		Since Dyke took over at the top of the BBC in February, he has prompted numerous newspaper articles on his scrapping of second cars for top executives, the clampdown on croissants at BBC breakfasts and a purge on taxis and mini-cabs.
		Dyke's charm has allowed him some leeway in pushing through unpopular measures without engendering personal animosity of Birtist proportions - whether it be the headline-grabbing croissant ban, or the weightier issue of job losses.

	Greg Dyke resigns
		BBC director general Greg Dyke today dramatically resigned as the corporation struggles to deal with the biggest crisis in its 82-year history.
		Mr Dyke's decision to quit marks an ignominious end to a four-year reign at the head of the BBC to become the latest casualty of Lord Hutton's damning indictment of the corporation's journalism, management and regulation.
		Mr Dyke, who earns £464,000 a year and was on holiday when Gilligan made his original report, will be remembered as a reforming director general but one whose lack of political nous and attention to detail led to his downfall.

	Amazon.co.uk: Greg Dyke: Inside Story: Books: Greg Dyke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Greg Dyke is the former Director-General of the BBC who was forced to leave his post following a battle with the government over reporter Andrew Gilligan’s claim that the government had knowingly ‘sexed up’ the intelligence relating to Iraq’s military capabilities.
		Dyke devotes a whole chapter to a painstaking and ultimately damning analysis of the Hutton Report, particularly Hutton’s ruling that it was not part of his remit to consider to what sort of weapons of mass destruction the Government’s dossier on Iraq actually referred.
		Finally, and most importantly, Dyke forces the reader to accept a stark choice: either Tony Blair knew that Iraq was incapable of threatening Britain with weapons of mass destruction (which means he lied about the ’45 minutes from destruction’ claim) or he didn’t (which means he is incompetent).

	Dyke, Greg
		Greg Dyke's success in the industry proves that it is no longer necessary for top British television people to come from Oxbridge and start their careers in the BBC.
		Unlike most BBC executives, Dyke was a sixteen year old school leaver who had a varied career after leaving grammar school at age 16: he worked for various local papers, gained a politics degree at York University as a mature student, and became campaign organizer for Wandsworth Council of Community Relations.
		Dyke eventually resigned from TV-AM over budget cuts, and was quickly snapped up by Television South as director of programs, from where he returned to LWT as director of programs, and then chief executive.

	Greg Dyke and the new media establishment Contemporary Review - Find Articles
		The removal of Greg Dyke from the BBC was a fairly ignoble moment for all the participants in the process.
		In the case of Mr Dyke he is obviously not a fool and, as he frequently points out, the staff at the BBC protested against his removal, which implies that he was doing something right.
		On reading Mr Dyke's book it would appear that all that they taught him for this fee was exactly what he already knew for himself, which is doubtful as some of it (for example, always try to break the rules) is simply bad management.

	normblog: Greg Dyke and Tony Blair
		In a state of considerable anger, described by one witness as "a rant", Dyke, editorial chief of the most powerful and trusted news organisation in the world, gave vent to his fury.
		He told friends he had had enough of Campbell's bullying of BBC news, that Blair was almost certainly behind these attacks, and that he was personally prepared actively to help engineer the removal of Blair by promoting a new political party to which he would donate three million pounds of his own private fortune.
		Dyke's unconscionable fury with his former friend seems to support the views of top broadcast executives such as Will Wyatt, former managing director of BBC TV, who was deeply opposed to Dyke's appointment as D-G in the first place.
