As we have noted many times before, the media’s obsession with decades-old sex abuse in the Catholic Church is more about its hatred for the Church than it is about sex abuse itself.
Not surprisingly, the New York Times has obsessed over the issue. In literally hundreds (if not thousands) of news articles, editorials, and op-eds in recent years, the paper has been pummeling the Catholic Church for its handling of decades-old cases of sex abuse.
Now the Times has hired a new CEO, Mark Thompson, the former chief of the British broadcasting giant BBC, and people are asking what knowledge he had of sickening child sex abuse committed by one of the network’s most popular personalities in its history, the late entertainer Jimmy Savile.
Police in England are now reportedly investigating as many as 300 child abuse allegations against the BBC’s Savile, with one story claiming that his youngest victim may have been as young as eight years old. In addition, one of Savile’s acts of molestation apparently was captured on live television (on “Top of the Pops”) in 1976.
