Biased BBC's Alan reports;


2The truth of the allegations against Jimmy Saville are not proven in any way and that is not the point of this.....here the BBC felt that the mere accusation was enough to 'tarnish' the BBC's reputation and so they filed the report away never to be seen.
 BBC 'buried Savile sex abuse claims to save its reputation’
The BBC shelved a Newsnight investigation into allegations that Sir Jimmy Savile sexually abused a teenage girl in his dressing room at Television Centre, it has emerged.

It makes you wonder why they have similarly 'buried' the Balen Report and spent £300,000 in legal costs ensuring the public do not get to see its contents. What does it tell us about the BBC's coverage of Israel and the Jews? Can't be good news can it?It was Mark Thompson who told us that 'we provide a bridge to the world, a bridge to freedom, it is very important that the story of Gaza is told around the world.' So we know whose side he is on anyway.

"Reporters on the current affairs programme were also told of claims that two other celebrities, both still alive, sexually abused girls at Television Centre in the 1970s."

Hmmmm.

Which Tories will be 'named' by the BBC this time I wonder?

Let's try to be fair about this the story emerged shortly after his death. It would have been appalling to run the "expose" whilst his friends and were still mourning him. And these are only allegations. You can say pretty much anything about a dead man.

Somebody copy and save this comment for the day after Mrs. Thatcher passes.

The BBC supported convicted child-rapist Roman Polanski. So we shouldn't expect any magical change of behavior now.

Be nice to treat the BBC in the same way as they have treated the church(especially the Catholic one) these last few years.
Their collusion and refusal to come clean about what they`ve known-and then covered up-hopefully will skewer and smear them in the same way that they`ve actively been doing to the churches.
And didn`t they put Gary Glitter on TOTP as well?-endemic grooming and abuse since 1969 then!
Shut them down and send in Social Services!

This morning on Broadcasting House we had a long interview with a young Syrian man (well he had never been there and was born in Britain but was of Syrian descent).  It was all done with a very soft touch and few interuptions but I thought how different it would be had it been a descendent of Israeli parents wanting to go to Israel to defend the country during the intifada.

The BBC did the same with the Hollie Greig case.  A full investigation into the corruption and collusion and cover up of paedophile rings in Scotland which have judges, Sherrifs and the police involved in them.

The Grampian police admitted, on and for the record, in open court, that they did not investigate the claims.  They gave her £13,000 from the criminal injuries compensation scheme, but they did not interview ANY of the suspects in the case.  The whole Scottish establishment have colluded in the cover up of this case and the murder of Hollie's uncle.

I remember reading articles about this. There's a dedicated blog too...

Someone from the Voice for Children blog posts a comment here once in a while. I wonder if he's got more info about this:

Jimmy Savile, star of children’s television favourite Jim’ll Fix It, sued the Sun in 2008 over a series of articles linking him to Haut de la Garenne, the Jersey children’s home where human remains were found and children were allegedly tortured and sexually abused. He initially denied ever visiting the home, despite photographic evidence to the contrary.

No laughing matter from what I read above, but when I see 'File under hidden' and the BBC's 'reporting' and/or accountablity systems in complement, I simply think of this...

Antony Jay

"But we were not just anti-Macmillan; we were anti-industry, anti-capitalism, anti-advertising, anti-selling, anti-profit, anti-patriotism, anti-monarchy, anti-Empire, anti-police, anti-armed forces, anti-bomb, anti-authority. Almost anything that made the world a freer, safer and more prosperous place, you name it, we were anti it."
Antony Jay, Telegraph, July 2007

Andrew Marr

"..the final answer, frankly, is the vigorous use of state power to coerce and repress. It may be my Presbyterian background, but I firmly believe that repression can be a great, civilising instrument for good. Stamp hard on certain 'natural' beliefs for long enough and you can almost kill them off."
Andrew Marr, The Guardian Feb. 1999

Jeremy Paxman

"But the bigger question is whether the BBC itself has a future. Working for it has always been a bit like living in Stalin’s Russia, with one five-year-plan, one resoundingly empty slogan after another. One BBC, Making it Happen, Creative Futures, they all blur into one great vacuous blur. I can’t even recall what the current one is. Rather like Stalin’s Russia, they express a belief that the system will go on forever."
Jeremy Paxman, The James McTaggart Memorial, 24th August 2007
