Woman's Hour Pisses Me Off

Here is how it works when it comes to any 'discussion' about Ayn Rand in the mainstream media.The host invites two people on who are hostile to Rand and gives them free rein to vent and excoriate by slur distortion,defamation and disinformation.Not one but two 'experts' are wheeled on to do the hatchet job.

You might suppose that at least on a public service broadcaster such as the BBC that some attempt might be made to have one of the guests in question be sympathetic to Rand and at least put her arguments forth honestly for the sake of balance which the BBC is always at pains to assure us it strives for.But no,in a blatant non balanced fashion Ayn Rand bashing is what we were treated to on last weeks' excerable Womans Hour on radio four.

It is standard practice as I have mentioned before when it comes to Rand but really it applies across the board no matter what the subject under discussion is.The BBC has got away with this egregious tendentiousness for half a century and the only solution would be the one Rand herself would advocate namely the removal of the TV licence from the BBC so that it can be free to proeselytize its 20th century collectivist credo without benefit of tax payer support.
