Actually I think you have a point about the BBC- and the fact that the beeb sent more people to cover the leaders debate than ITV did just made me annoyed. I think Aunty Beeb needs to go on a diet and should be much better run. The golden days of David Attenborough who commissioned Monty Python, Civilisation, The Ascent of Man and many other of the best TV programmes ever made has been replaced by a bloated management producing populist crud to compete with the populist crud of ITV. I don't like the tone of the Tory attacks on the BBC, but I do admit that you have a point.Cicerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02090838836212624633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15037609.post-25466971222144717952010-04-18T16:25:39.478+01:002010-04-18T16:25:39.478+01:00The reason right wing opinion flocked to the inter...The reason right wing opinion flocked to the internet was that it was excluded from the state broadcasting corporation. This is the largest broadcasting organization in the word and interacts with everyone of us at least once a week.<br /><br />As media models go it is antediluvian and solidly behind “Progressive” opinion. Many SDP ( Now Lib Dem)members have been prominent. Polly Toynbee stood for the SDP and she was the editor of social affairs for the State telly for seven years <br />The list of centre left Beeb movers and shakers is a long one but when you examine the prejudices of the BBC they are more Liberal than Labour .During the so called Common Market referendum for example when much of the opposition was from the old lef the Beeb was found to have conspired with those who wanted us in. This included many Conservatives at the time but Liberals and the BBC have remained hypnotized by this big government empire when others are disillusioned <br /><br />Liberal opinion has received none of the endless abuse Conservatives have and while the Guardian is nominally Labour it is as much critical of Labour from a Liberal perspective. The media is broadly inhabited by Liberals as are the arts.<br /><br />The phrase Liberal establishment is a commonplace and a reality the interaction between this establishment and the Liberal Party is rather more complex.The Party contains an extremist and eccentric mix of odd bal below its smooth surfaceNewmaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922161971821380803noreply@blogger.com
