What The BBC Knew - Panorama - Tonight 2235-2335
 

Obviously not the WHOLE story - there's more to come tomorrow - but this program did introduce us to the Newsnight team and it did confirm the meddling by those at the top .....

..... but, as was pointed out, Savile fooled everybody except his victims and hid his obscenities in plain sight of everyone else .....

George Entwistle prepares for starring role in his own BBC drama as he faces MPs

Is Entwistle another glaring example of the Peter Principle?

:pipe:

Yes the Emails
they did not show.


Yes Savile was
helped
(by those that walked in on him- and wanted to keep their jobs)
are the helpers still around?

When is enough enough? The Catholic Church, the Boy Scouts, the BBC, Penn State.... how many more major institutions do we need to hear about before someone finally does something about this?

These things come out, and everyone is shocked about what happened, but nothing is being done about the fact that it's still happening now. We can sit around talking about what Jimmy Saville did, what about all of the JImmy Saville's doing it right now that we won't hear about for another 20 years? What is being done to uncover these things as they are ACTUALLY happening, instead of just dealing with it long after it's too late?

Jimmy Savile charities have no future, say trustees

Good - the name goes, the money gets re-distributed.

Jimmy Savile: MPs to question BBC director general

He can expect a "grilling" ..... :hmph:

..the thing I don't understand is why keep the charities a secret..?..they say it's because the money is tainted, which doesn't make sense to me because it would seem that it's the only possible good thing to come out of this...the people donating that money gave it in good faith and it has and will continue to benefit the people who need it...so why the need for secrecy..?....

..whatever else he was or has done, it's a fact that huge amounts of money were raised for good causes and I can't see the public outraged at any charity who would benefit fom that money...

The JS charities are not being kept secret - they are being closed down.

Entwistle's arrived - still denying BBC's handling was laggardly

He has not even bothered to seek out the level of abuse complaints since the 1960's

He's flapping - has he done no preparation at all ?

Yes Stiff Upper Lip.

He can not pass the buck
about newsnight
as he was in charge of vision.

He just keeps saying "Someone's looking at it"

He's "guessing" at the incidence of child abuse in the BBC

He's not bothered to arrange personal contact with former employees

He's getting pushed on the recent "just the women" phrase now - thing haven't changed then

Is this being broadcast live?

It's ok, I found it on channel 80

Great post... Wholeheartedly agree. Let these investigations continue but also let it lead to other abuse rings being uncovered and people actually paying for their crimes.

He's still evading responsibility - blaming middle management - talking about "notes","asked", "speaking to", "getting a sense of"

Now he's being pushed about the lies about Karin and the police

He's "observed the chain of command" but not asked his subordinates what's going on

Yes he seems a True Pleb

He only ever speaks to his "Divisional Directors" before "executing his authority"

He HAS given considerable thought about abandoning a program with potential criminal evidence, but admits neither he or nor his subordinates decided to inform the police

He's being asked why the BBC persisted in saying the Newsnight investigation was about the CPS and the police when obviously the public interest would have been in the serial paediophila of a BBC "superstar"

He doesn't "have an awareness" of much of anything for which he has responsibility and upon which he can exert authority

Reading between the lines... He HAD to drop it.
In my opinion, I would go so far as to say the police or the government had requested the investigation stopped.

Now being asked why the Panorama program didn't go even further

Maintaining the line that, even as editor-in-chief, he rarely got involved in editorial decisions

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...-MPs-live.html

It appears that, although the Newsnight program was commissioned, it wasn't actually "commissioned" because it wasn't hardset for transmission, although given a date, because there was no final script ..... :conf:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...-MPs-live.html

He doesn't appear to have a "grip" about anything

Claims that he wasn't concerned about the Newsnight expose clashing with his JS tributes since he relied on his subordinates to decide on the "right course"
