A 1978 interview with Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) has resurfaced, in which he accurately identified Jimmy Savile as a "hypocrite" involved in "seediness" that was common knowledge but suppressed by the BBC. Rotten was reportedly banned from BBC Radio for his comments, while Savile continued his crimes for another 30 years. The incident is cited as a classic example of mainstream media protecting high-profile predators.
