the trial of the century

The trial by newspaper of the deceased broadcasterJimmy Savile continues across various bankrupt media groups who have appointed themselves judge, jury and executioner on the man's life and reputation, and who seem to recognise no duty of fairness devolving upon themselves in the proceedings they have contrived.
Really it's a show trial.
In the truest sense of the word.
The media groups are putting on an entertainment show masquerading as a public interest documentary with anonymous and disguised and hugely remunerated supposed sources posing as victims who are being paid undisclosed sums of money to say what they're saying about Jimmy Savile, and who are being subjected to no cross examination whatsoever.
It's a show.
It's a show trial designed to sensationally draw public attention back to bankrupt floundering media groups and away from the internet where freedom of choice and of speech, the quality of the genuine in those of us who write here, has been so undermining the pornographic business model of these amoral dessicated dying television stations and newspaper titles and is perceived as a threat to their very existence.
This is a show trial designed to save newspaper groups which are already dead.
It cannot succeed.
Even people who don't have the wherewithall to figue out what's going on, are still vaguely uncomfortable with what the Daily Mirror, ITV, Sky News, The Sun, the Daily Mail, and News International have done.
Last night's instalment of the show trial on Sky News was a doozy.
A man styling himself Kevin Wood was interviewed in silhouetee.
His face was in darkness.
His words were read by an actor.
Like last week's supposed witnesses from ITV's initial assault on the reputation of Jimmy Savile, the person being paid to allege abuse against a deceased celebrity, would have his identity completely concealed.
Sky News paid this fellow to say on air that as a nine year old Cub Scout he had been molested by the deceased broadcaster Jimmy Savile in a BBC dressing room.
Sky adroitly cut out some of the more questionable elements of his testimony which had earler been published by newspapers.
Sky cut out the man's claim that Jimmy Savile had said: "You can't stop me. I'm King Jimmy."
Since we couldn't hear the man's voice or see his face, there was no way of assessing his credibility based on the key information that one obtains from listening to a voice and seeing a face.
Incidentally Sky News is part of Rupert Murdock's News International Group which is itself currently under investigation by British politicians and police for among other things:
1. Bribing police officers.
2. Tapping phones belonging to private citizens.
3. Using corrupt private investigators, corrupt police officers, and corrupt News International staff members to pervert the course of justice.
