Media outlets, by virtue of their status have a certain power. If the outlet has a state granted monopoly on certain news features it becomes even more powerful. And as we know, power corrupts.
Here's the BBC telling outright lies about the Rotherham sexual abuse scandal. By doing this, I would argue that they are complicit in facilitating such crimes.
And there's the rub.... By dissimulating like this, by protecting the guilty and lying about the truth, the BBC are encouraging these kinds of incidents to recur. Therefore the BBC must be held equally accountable alongside the perpetrators.
