Thread Name: The BBC are arseholes
Subject: RE: The BBC are arseholes
Nick - from what I've read over the years in your mudcat posts,
you're a folkie bloke I can respect,
so would rather avoid falling out with you..
The reality is, as a well informed educated consumer of media, I do know very much what I'm talking about..
As a a 'creative' involved over decades in various facets of the 'arts' [ that looks pretentious and wanky...],
I have some experience of engaging with it.
AND as a keen observer of right wing fanatics,
I spend far too much time online in their company
absorbing their mostly confused and contradictory hatred of the BBC..
Most of the 'foot soldiers' I encounter do not have your years of experience,
and insider informed opinions of the poor state of the BBC.
All they feed on is pernicious conformist propagandising and indoctrination
from their right wing peers and influencers.
Many of whom are obvious puppets of foreign media tycoons..
We can agree the most probable pragmatic future for the BBC
is to be radically shaken by it's public school collar and tie,
becoming a leaner and more efficient subscription service..
But even after, if that happens, I expect the insidious anti BBC disinformation and hatred
will persist in being sown by foreign media rivals
and their allied UK far right political & media dogmatists..
Relentlessly stirring up rancour amongst the lesser educated 'football thug right'.
Pernicious hatred that will continue to fester until victory is theirs,
and the BBC is mercilessly kicked to death...???
