The BBC: Washington’s Mouthpiece
#2
I would argue a little differently to Paul Craig Roberts.

The BBC is now wholly a tool of the British government (it mostly was anyway, but hey) and the British government is a complete tool (in all senses of the meaning) of Washington. Close, but not quite the same thing in my view.

The last vestige of the Beeb's independence disappeared during the Blair years with the fallout from the assassination of Dr. David Kelly and the dodgy dossier affair.
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.
