Jimmy Savile report: Whitewash fears as BBC is accused of cutting criticism | Mail Online

'Fears of a BBC whitewash over the Jimmy Savile scandal grew last night amid claims 'key criticisms' have been 'gutted' for 'legal reasons' from a review of its handling of the affair.

Corporation chiefs are planning to release thousands of pages of evidence given to former Sky News boss Nick Pollard – who oversaw an independent inquiry into why a Newsnight investigation into the late entertainer's paedophile past was shelved.

But last night a source claimed 'heavy redactions' have been made to critical comments about BBC bosses. They added that it no longer gave 'an honest picture'.'
