This whole thing has become far too focused on the BBC alone. We're talking all the time about the decision to drop a Newsnight investigation and little about the fact that Saville abused several girls. The entire story has been hijacked for the purposes of pushing against the BBC.

i didn't say he was DG then. But he was in charge of tribute programming, and should have at least asked the question.
And the BBC is in focus, because they should have done more, as a public company. But chose to ignore. Hence the focus on them, but not to exclusion of others, hence the other stories coming out.
I am all "henced" out now
