If so, WHY?
Light entertainment, OK forgiveable. News and political analysis? Lordy you’ve got it bad. You know, sometimes after eating your greens you get home and catch your own reflection in the mirror. “Why the hell didn’t someone tell me I had that dark dreen spinach lodged im my teeth. I must have looked like an ass.” Well I am here to tell you just that. If you are watching the BBC Newz (‘newz’ cos it sure aint’ news!) you’ve got not just spinach in your teeth, but you’ve got cat litter on your cheek too, and your flies were down or you tucked your skirt in your undies.
The methodology of the BBC Newz can be sussed out by lifeforms highter than the water nymph genus, with the exception of the leming. If you are a leming, and most people are, or a life form equal or less than that of the water nymph, then get Media Lens’s book “Newspeak” and you will learn something and give the evolutionists a chance to spin out another hipottysis.
I’ll give you the lowdown: They, the Beeb, are pretty consistent in their reporting methodology. It therefore has become established. They incessently refer to themselves as balanced/unbiased and not opinionated (complete lobbox, of course). but you know what happens when a lie is repeated often enough – it works for Nazis {although strangely enough, not that well for bLiar nazi. He must have been horrified when he kept repeating the same old shit and yet a significant body refused to believe it. No woonder Megadeath bLiar had heart flutters. P.S. If he dies before me, I seriously intend to dance on his grave! Who wants to join me? lets make an event out of it – Seriously!}
Very few have enough exposure to show what a sack of spuds the BBC claim really is. So the BBCs lies stick. Its reporting ‘style’ gets entrenched into the mind, beguiling you to the desired effect that you believe the BBC claims of fairness and unopinionated reportage are just that.
Trouble is, their style is opinionated, and very much so! It gives copious positve/supportive opinions, suppositions and grace without any serious or meaningful challenge when, what one may call ‘western orthodoxy’ (i.e. hegemony} is at issue, yet it smears and opinionates you into hostility towards things alien to the aformentnioned orthodoxy. So then, that style is the benchmark (or the norm if you like me have never liked that silly ‘benchmark’ phrase) which remember is ‘fair and balanced’. When (as rarely happens) that orthodoxy does get a fair challenge, then because it’s out of the established norm and there said to be biased.
See how it works? Look at a few BBC articles about the US and then compare them with Palesine and see if what I am saying doesn’t ring true.
Guess what? here’s the bitter part: YOU are partially to blame! Yes YOU! You who have abdicated individual responsibility to hold the BBC accountable by employment of your own critical faculties and innate sence of honesty and justice to make the BBC really live up to what it claims itself to be. YOU sit there unperterbed while the BBC beams it’s mind warping crap into your head. Like I said, entertainment – ok, who honestly doesn’t need trivial catharsis from time to time. But when it comes to (real)news and current affairs, then boy, you’ve got some ‘splainin to do {as Nancy Sinatra might say}
If you’re life is comfy you probably won’t care about this, as the instinctive humanity is probably entombed by the mindset others have imparted unto you. Are you sniggering? Then my point is made as you are unlikely to have with real honesty, contemplated these words.
OK. I’m gonna stop bashing you now, not because I’m worried about my stats which are doing nicely in the footsteps of the dodo, but because the point has been made and it’s YOU and you alone who bears the responsibility to look at yourself and start asking yourself the difficult and necesary questions – and believe you me, if you are honest in answering those questions, the liberation it should being is, to borrow a phase a highlt repseced Professor said when giving a lecture on solid state ionics talking about his first publication: “better than sex”.
You may not be ready yet to do that so I’ll get back to the point… The BBC.
There is a reason why the BBC is this way. It didn’t just start being this way one crisp spring morning, and actually, the BBC is a general reflection of what can genuinely be described as the corporate mainstream media. That media and the orthodoxy it protects (mentioned earlier) is heavily interlaced with this capatilist insanity that sees 1/6th of the population go hungry each day and is busy toxifying the world. (Not with trivial CO2 – I’m talking about ACTUAL pollution – chemical, pharmaceutical, biological and nuclear waste! The BBC with all its resources should do what Michael Moores’s Corporate chicken used to do: expose corporate crime! Unless you’ve taken some time out to examine corporate crime, You probably don’t appreciate it’s depth.

The problem is a toxic rotten fruit coctail of western orthodox politics, the media, corporatite organisted crime, and of course, those at the top of all that pulling (and allowed to pull) those strings. No cigar in guessing who and any particular beliefs they may hold, but for many the line stops at greedy bankers, which is a bit like going for a walk in the Gloucestershire countryside in July’s heavy summer, only to see sticks and mud.
So here, (finally), is some REAL news, the kind of stuff the BBC should spend significant amounts of time bringing to your attention to get you off your chair and demand an end to this peverse capitalism.

You know it makes sence to bury this BBC rubbish and use media that isn’t a corporate whore.
More news worthy of your consideration that you wont find on the BBC…
