Do you retract your Point about the BBC serving the British Government?

The current BBC Management and Staff are an Elitist Class who 'think'
that they "Exist" to Serve a Higher Truth and 'The World'. The BBC
is Culturally Isolated from the Rest of the common people of the UK.


1. If you mean the beer and chips brigade then I hope so.

2. Judging by the dumbed-down crap on all channels you are wrong.

They suffer for the misguided Idea that they are "The PRESS" the
Exhaled and Anointed Few: The Sayers of Truth and Understanding.
* 'The PRESS' has No More Rights then any other Citizen of their
Country of Nationality.


They do, actually.

* 'The PRESS' does Not Wear a UN Blue Hat.
* 'The PRESS does Not Have Diplomatic Status or Immunity.
* Being a Member of 'The PRESS' does not Make You Bullet Proof
in a War Zone or Time of Civil Disorder.
* 'The PRESS' Is Not A Class Above All Others: They are simply
common ordinary citizens doing a JOB [.]


Who said that they were?

What 'prestige'? Ever popularity poll for many years has placed the
'Press' at the bottom, next to politicians.

The BBC was 'created' to Serve the 'interests' of People of the UK


'Inform, Entertain, Educate?

and as such in doing so indirectly serves the government of the UK.


Only in fields like education.

The BBC does not 'exist' in a vacuum as an Entity Un-to-Its-Self.


Who said it did?

The BBC is FAILING at Being "The BBC" and needs to Return to 'First
Principles' of providing Accurate, Honest, Balanced and Fair News
and Information to the British People that is NOT Obviously Biased
and Hostile to the British Government and the common interests of
the British People.


The 'Press' as a whole are the only defence we have against our own
government.
