BBC | Exec snubbed over past 'controversial' tweets; should leaders be worried?

Jess Brammar, the apparent frontrunner for a prime executive position at the BBC, the role of executive news editor, is no longer being considered for the job following the discovery of historically biased and anti-Government tweets.

Brammar deleted more than 90,000 tweets dating back to 2009 – yet, as with all content published on most major sites, these are still visible on several other websites.
