Can you hold the current corporation guilty for not acting on rumours of what a dead guy did while they were still at school?
I understand that the allegation is more to do with the Newsnight report they chose not to show but, well, haven't we just been through a phone hacking scandal? Whilst every other supposed 'news' organisation is allowed to lie, cheat, steal and decimate lives, the BBC isn't allowed to sit on a report that either might be not yet fully confirmed or might damage them? Maybe I'm cynical, having grown up in a world where organisations and those operating within them (along with politicians and, indeed, consumers) put their own well-being above anything else to the point they're happy to strip mine the world, culture and all conceivable human assets to increase profit by a couple of pence in the short term.
I'm fairly sure the reason they are currently attacking the BBC so hard is a result of the BBC screening The Leveson Inquiry in its entirety.
But you're reading a blog on The Huffington Post. What was meant to be a one paragraph intro has turned into a rant, so I'll leave that there and proceed to do what I intended with this piece - to slam the BBC. I just, personally, have seen enough Hitler until I have kids and am ready to teach them what their great-grandparents went through
