Jimmy Savile was a BBC presenter who used his position as a public celebrity to abuse children for decades. The BBC protected Jimmy Savile and censored a Newsnight exposure of his crimes (see "Jimmy Savile", Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Savile ).

Time went on to report that "" The BBC ... is in the grip of a profound crisis.
