My next few entries will be a reflection on the year, this entry will be about the BBC or British Broadcasting Corporation, the most popular television channel in Britain with worldwide services too.
Just to establish, I am not against the BBC in any way just outlining a few issues they have had over the year, I am actually an avid watcher.
The first problem that comes across in people’s minds is the Jimmy Saville Scandal and Operation Yewtree. Over 40 years before 100’s of people came forward stating that as a child they were abused in some form or another by Jimmy Saville and other big names at the time such as Radio DJ’s and pop stars. The BBC pleaded ignorance to knowing anything about what was going on within their buildings but it was found he was known about in the 70’s but no action was taken.
The second problem that hit is the Newsnight episodes, the fact that they did not show a episode filmed on the abuse of Scandal but showed another episode claiming that a innocent member of the House of Lords was a paedophile. This resulted in the resignation of the head of BBC.
'Don't look back in anger, I heard you say.'
