the reputation of the supersoaraway sun newspaper versus whoever

Rupert Murdock's Sun newspaper has today been compelled to pay half a million pounds to an Irish popular music impressario called Louis Walsh. The Sun had trafficked in false paid for allegations that Mr Walsh sexually assaulted a man by groping him in a toilet. That is to say the Sun paid a man to falsely claim that he had been groped by Louis Walsh in a toilet. The only mistake the Sun made, was to pay this man to slander Mr Walsh while Mr Walsh was very much alive and in a position to defend himself. They didn't make that mistake with Jimmy Savile did they? The Sun, and Rupert Murdock's other titles and media entities such as The Times of London and Sky News, did more than any other organisations to disinter Jimmy Savile and destroy him from beyond the grave. The Sun and its staff and editors, took up the tenuous and tendentious paid for allegations contrived by the Daily Mirror and the broadcaster ITV, and used them to boost their negligible circulation and to distract from the current British Public Enquiry into the conduct of Rupert Murdock's media group in bribing police officers, subverting the police and hacking into the mobile phones of murdered English school girls. I kid you not. The stakes were high. Now here's where we stand. The original Daily Mirror/ITV television programme presented four tiers to its tissue of inuendos against Jimmy Savile. The first tier was an attempt to imply that since the presenter of the programme was a former police officer who had previously investigated a child abuse case involving a celebrity, then for him to be paid to investigate this case by the Daily Mirror and ITV, must imply guilt to Jimmy Savile. This rationale for guilt is of course disgusting. That was one fourth right there, of the case against Jimmy Savile. The second tier of inuendos came from a woman styled Karin West whose visual appearance and voice was disguised on the programme while she claimed without corroboration or cross examination, that as a sixteen year old she had gone to Jimmy Savile's hotel room to collect some Elvis Presley memorabalia in the early 1960's and had been raped by him in his room which she asserted was located next to the hotel reception desk. It later emerged that she had spent her life engaged in various forms of criminality, forms of criminality which have yet to be fully specified or publicised by Jimmy Savile's media detractors or by the police, that she had a rap sheet as long as your arm, that she was a drug user, that she had never attempted to incriminate Jimmy Savile over the past forty years until offered money by the Daily Mirror and ITV to do so, that her unsubstantiated paid for accusations against Jimmy Savile don't stand up to even the mildest cross examination, that after what she claims was a rape by Jimmy Savile she went on to appear on Jimmy Savile's television show several times as a dancer, and that far from being an innocent teenager at the time of her supposed rape she was already working full time and enjoying the life that went with the hedonistic sexual revolution in 1960's London. This woman was the only serious participant in the Daily Mirror ITV programme. And she was not serious at all. She and her testimony and the lack of scrutiny both were given, were thoroughly invidious. That's fifty percent of the case against Jimmy Savile in the paragraphs above. The third tier of accusations against Jimmy Savile in the Daily Mirror ITV programme consisted of speculative uncorroborated testimony from a television producer styling himself Wilfred De Ath. Wilfred De Ath said: "I saw Jimmy Savile with a fourteen year old. She was fourteen at most... Jimmy Savile went to bed with a twelve year old. Or maybe she was ten." This chopping and changing of unsubstantiated allegations, and bear in mind this was the most credible footage of Wilfred De Ath that the Daily Mirror and ITV could contrive, would be unacceptable in any courtoom and in any newspaper that wasn't already bankrupt due to lack of readers. There's more. Wilfred De Ath has just been arrested by the police. A British actress saw the Daily Mirror ITV programme in which Wilfred De Ath slandered Jimmy Savile. She says she recognised Wilfred De Ath as a man who had sexually abused her when she was, wait for it, fourteen years of age. That's seventy five percent of the Daily Mirror ITV evidence against Jimmy Savile reduced to nothing. The final tier of Daily Mirror ITV inuendos against Jimmy Savile came from an elderly former television presenter called Esther Rantzen. Esther Rantzen had no specific evidence to make against Jimmy Savile. The Daily Mirror ITV programme producers merely filmed Esther Rantzen watching a preliminary clip of the programme she was later to be a part of. Esther Rantzen lowered her head into her hands, appearing to weep, and said: "We covered this up. Didn't we? We looked the other way." It was pure ham. A desperate old ham desperate to be back on TV. But since it was only Jimmy Savile's reputation at stake, Esther Rantzen gave the Daily Mirror and ITV precisely what they wanted. Afterwards some of the children's charities with which Eshter Rantzen is associated, announced they were considering removing her from their boards of management as she had confessed to covering up child abuse. Esther Rantzen immediately released a denial. Now Jimmy Savile's reputation was no longer at stake. Esther Rantzen had already helped the Daily Mirror and ITV to posthumously destroy that. Now the only reputation at stake was Esther Rantzen's. Esther Rantzen's new statement said: "I have never covered up child abuse. I mean all I'd heard about Jimmy Savile were second and third hand rumours." Finally it emerged, that far from being powerless to act, even on second and third hand rumours, Esther Rantzen had had links to the highest powers within the British Broadcasting Corporation where Jimmy Savile worked. She had been first the lover then the wife of the Programme Chief at the station. Lovely lovely people. Esther Rantzen's contribution to the desperate Daily Mirror ITV hatchet job on the reputation of the deceased broadcaster Jimmy Savile was the final twenty five percent of the innuendos contrived against him. Esther Rantzen's evidence has now been shown to be as worthless as the other seventy five percent of slanders against Jimmy Savile first contrived and then paid for by the Daily Mirror and ITV, and afterwards picked up and trumpeted by Rupert Murdock's Sun, Times of London, and Sky News, along with Lord Rothermere's pharmaceutical companies financed Daily Mail and the hind tit amoral follow the crowd Irish Independent and Irish Times newspapers. These are bad bad people. Thankfully there's a cure.
