The media onslaught
#12
Martin White Wrote:I should add that the BBC has recently been subject to thinly-veiled threats from David Cameron's government that unless it's more pro-government it'll end the BBC's funding. This maybe doesn't impact on the JFK case as such, but shows what pressure the BBC are under.

I realise it's a controversial subject in the US, but our National Health Service is a respected and treasured institution here. Cameron's mob are selling it piece by piece to private health companies, that most of the Conservative politicians own shares in. Conflict of interest, much?

And not a word of this can be found anywhere on the BBC.

Aside from their oh-so-correct pronunciation, and a fairly global view of the news [compared to US standards], the BBC is a and has always been a lapdog of the British elites and their intelligence agencies, IMHO. They totally blew 9-11 coverage...if not being somewhat complicit; ditto the London Bombings, the man in the bag, anything that involved deep politics or military moves...they wave the flag and keep their thumb on the script given to them from Whitehall! Independent they are not....they MAY well be getting less so, however. The incredible shrinking truth.....::director::
