Jimmy Savile & The BBC

In my opinion in the Jimmy Savile case i believe that it was wrong for newsnight to possible drop hints about who the alleged abuser in the welsh care home was without concrete evidence. Lord Mcalpine is well within his right to demand his £125,000. 

However newsnight should not be taken off the air being such a pivotal part of the BBC and they were also well within their right to run that show and speculate, however dropping hints was wrong. Let us not forget it was only hints aswell, the name was generated on the social networking site Twitter and Sally Bercow stirred the situation. I believe she should be sued more so than Newsnight.

The sacking of George Entwistle was also badly dealt with and i believe he was the scape goat of the BBC as they attempted to redeem themselves to the public and almost as if they are saying "look look we've done something and we are making changes."
