Conservative supporters Margaret Thatcher expressed outraged on Monday after CNN marked the death of the the former British prime minister by airing a photo of her with former BBC television presenter Jimmy Savile, a suspected pedophile.

In a CNN Starting Point segment soon after the news of Thatcher’s death broke on Monday, the morning show displayed the black and white photo of Thatcher and Savile appearing together at an event in the 1980s to support the NSPCC children’s charity. CNN showed the photo at least four times during the five-minute segment.

Scotland Yard announced that in 2012 that it had launched an investigation about a year after Savile’s death in October 2011 into allegations that he had sexually abused hundreds of children.

Wall Street Journal Social Media Editor Neal Mann noted on Twitter that CNN “obviously didn’t get the memo” when it ran the photo of Thatcher with Savile.

3. No 'suspected' about it

Savile was a monster.

So, like Pinochet, Thatcher loved him.

5. Sometimes 'of' can make an article or break one.

They loved her so much they started a group called Margaret Thatcher!

7. WSJ - 'quit posting FACTS!'

It figures the WSJ would be in the corner of denial.

8. A sense of poetic justice, methinks?

10. Strike "suspected" and insert "confirmed".

And yes, Savile certainly mixed in exalted circles.
