If it were down to me I'd suspend their broadcast license for a suitable period but then I'm not a BBC fanboy.

In some defence of the BBC, they do try and hold themselves to account. If you watched Newsnight last night you had the rather odd spectacle of Newsnight tearing into itself and bring people onto the program to lay into it.
This morning Radio 4 really went after the Director General itself:

The Sun and News of the World barely mentioned it. News of the World even went as far as tearing into The Guardian after the initial allegations and calling them liars when they
knew it was the truth. As bad as the BBC have messed up recently they do have considerably higher standards than NOTW.
