People Are Finally Realizing the BBC Is an Establishment Mouthpiece
by Michaela Whitton | ANTIMEDIA
United Kingdom — The BBC has come under fire for its reporting on the May 5 elections, including its relentlessly hostile anti-Labour smear campaign, which has arguably bordered on vendetta. While the public broadcaster has long been slammed for institutional bias and undermining shifts toward a more progressive and inclusive Britain, its recent election coverage and orchestrated timing of reporting on other major issues seems to have grabbed people’s attention.
Reporting by the “public service broadcaster” over the last few weeks has called into question the political neutrality of the organisation’s political commentators. At the same time, many are waking up to the fact that the agenda they are subjected to is a carefully selected and edited version of the truth.
Referring to the coverage on Thursday’s local council elections, Former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray, called the BBC coverage “a despicable and quite deliberate lie,” adding that the organisation has become a “caricature of a state propaganda machine.”
In addition, Kerry-Anne Mendoza, Editor-in-chief of The Canary, revealed last week why the BBC is such an establishment mouthpiece by spotlighting the colossal conflicts of interest behind the scenes of Britain’s biggest broadcaster.
