The BBC kept a prolific child rapist on air for 50 years, only confessing after he was dead. Savile abused at least 500 people across five decades, most were underage, including patients at the NHS hospitals he was fundraising for. The BBC’s own inquiry found he attacked 72 people in its studios, dressing rooms and corridors because a culture of fear stopped staff from ever reporting him. The Queen knighted him in 1990, the Pope honored him while the rumors were already circulating, and Newsnight sat on its own exposé until another network broke the story months later. 15 years on, the BBC are still explaining why they stayed silent until hiding it became impossible. So of course they spliced Trump’s January 6 speech to invent an incitement that wasn’t there and only lost their director-general and news chief once they got caught.
