I would like to argue against this.
It's the BBC NEWS that should be transformed from it's current narrow pro government propaganda model. To just get rid of it leaves us with Sky News as the principal UK broadcast news outlet and that's even worse. Murdoch would love it and has been working behind the scenes for years to get rid of the BBC. This campaign is right up his street.
Also, putting the Beeb to sleep, ignores the fact that it produces some fine drama.
The problem is not the BBC per se, but the senior management and the government (especially Blair's government) for hindering it and making it so fearful about its future funding from government, thereby making it supplicant.
The whole thing needs to be re-worked and real independence assured.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
