A major media scandal has toppled the head of the BBC over the network's handling of two reports on sex abuse, wrongly implicating a politician in one, and killing a report on its own popular BBC host, the late Jimmy Savile. One year after his death, Savile is been accused of abusing potentially hundreds of victims while the BBC stayed silent. We're joined by three guests: Lark Turner, who has been researching and writing about the BBC scandal involving Jimmy Savile for The New York Times; Tim Gopsill, a longtime British reporter who warns that much of the criticism directed at the BBC's handling of this scandal comes from conservative media outlets in the U.K. who want to see the network dismantled and de-funded; and Donald Findlater, a sexual abuse spokesperson for the Lucy Faithfull Foundation and director of Stop it Now! U.K.

It's amazing how these people (Mark Thompson) go from being the head of the BBC straight in to a senior position elsewhere isn't it. Like butterflies going from flower to flower, sucking out the nectar, whilst the rest of us scrimp, scrape and fight amongst the leaf litter on the forrest floor. I think I might try to write an 'Animal Farm' for the 21st century!

Since when?

@arbabakram1198 6 лет назад

It looks like the entire media has dropped the story, because it involved high profile people. What happened to the victims and ruling class that he was servicing? What happened to justice and free press? BBC should do the follow up in order deliver justice.

That Sue woman actually stood there, watched an act of abuse, and did nothing about it??? Why didn't she report it like any decent, law-abiding, human being would have done??? I hope she was sacked!!!!

Only non establishment organisations or people who are threats to it are attacked. Media organisations are not as varied as we are led to believe.

@optionsupdate Look what happened to Jill Dando.

@garrydavis3475 3 года назад

Because the people who worked with in the BBC were fed up with being threatened by senior staff members and officials threatening them with the loss of their jobs

@raenfairy 3 года назад

Probably because most of them are just as guilty & if they started pointing the finger then it would be pointed right back at them.

@scottgeorge4268 3 года назад

BBC Popular? Not sure that's accurate. State owned and with over-paid staff, huge pensions...

@livevegan 11 лет назад

This is not an issue of "sexual attraction", it is abuse of power which is what rape and pedophilia is.

@Radagast- 3 года назад

They were not "different times," in the sense that the age of consent was 16, as it is now, and has been since 1885. Also, rape and indecent assault were crimes pursuant to the 1956 Sexual Offences Act. The idea that the "social mores" of a group of tv celebrities somehow overrides the Law is fucking laughable! It was not that witnesses failed to come forward because they thought Savile's conduct was ok. They stayed silent for fear of retribution, and it is clear that Savile used dismissal as a threat against potential whistleblowers at Broadmoor Hospital. I have heard reports of others raising concerns at the BBC and being told by line managers to forget about it if they wanted to keep their jobs. This culture of fear is still in place, today, and this will happen again.

Gee ...Jimmy Savile...what normal person would have thought he was abnormal? Sad...so sad!

@RichardShorten 11 лет назад

What IS REALLY SAD is only 116 people around the world follow this wonderful newscast.

@ryanmurphy2588 2 года назад

Tim Gopsill defending the BBC is just downright pathetic. Attacking "other" media, when the BBC covered up for Savile for decades is his ludicrous.

Because they know, the police know, the cover everything up cos some are involved. He was involved in the monarchy. Quite literally the monarchy knew. He was allowed in my home town hospital to do necrophilia. The catholic church are satanic ritual abusers. Think matrix.... disgusting but true...

@Cabronosidad 11 лет назад

Esther Ranzen brings herself to tears over his abuse, when she must have known all about Savile's reputation, as would have everyone working in Light Entertainment at that time. Hypocritical old witch.

@doug132639 5 лет назад

Yes but look VERY CLOSELY AT JEWISH RANZEN.. stories about her and her Child line are extremely disturbing.. Extremely..

@normanby100 3 года назад

She colluded in a conspiracy in getting Bernard Manning branded as a non-pc comic by acting outraged on the Parkinson show yet did little about Savile, Start Hall etc.

@andreaselfridge8678 2 года назад

Crocodile tears. She looks like matt Hancock... Like shes smirking. Her child line was the ideal place to identify vulnerable children and pass them on to those who abuse. It is a big business

If someone have , i would be very happy to come over those bullshit about Saville here in germany ! Thx @ all !!!!

The ITV documentary is on YT. Look for "The other side of Jimmy Savile". It's a two-part program. There's also an hour-long, Channel 5 documentary on YT.

@Ettibridget 3 года назад

Husk at den katolske kirke er verdens største religiøse fællesskab. Derfor vil der alt andet lige være flere uheldige sager dér end andre steder. Og når der så har været en sag, har den katolske kirke prioriteret at beskytte organisationen frem for at støtte ofrene. Det er forkasteligt, men er de de første der har reageret sådan? Næppe. Jeg forsvarer ikke den katolske kirke. Jeg vil bare gerne have proportionerne på plads.
