BBC for Sale! Interested Rupert,or Koch Bros?

Whilst it is true that the multimedia revolution has made BBC hegemony null and pretty much void it still has a monstrous reach across the ether and like all State behemoths acts and behaves in a despotic manner and pumps out a steady stream of pro statist propaganda and is stuffed to the gunwales with leftists,fellow travelers,neo Marxists,feminists -embittered twisted sexually repressed middle class women with nary a even conservative among its ranks bar Andre Neil the token non leftist.

It's claims of political neutrality are risible and transparently demonstrably false and it gets its recruitment from its defacto house journal in the back pages of the Guardian and it's claims of 'independence' from government are equally absurd, ridiculous and a downright lie on its very face  as the BBC is funded soley by the TV license and a tax by any other name is still a tax. (It's that quasi autonomous Orwellian doublethink at work again. It can be validated only if anyone can find a quasi pregnant woman or a quasi vegetarian. Where's the beef?)

If you are dependent on a government enforced at the point of a gun or imprisonment license for your very existence whatever else you are you are not independent of the government -it is your paymaster and who pays the license calls the tune.

This issue is sometimes confused by the fact that the BBC very often makes a point of criticising the government of the day as if to prove by so doing that it is indeed independent from it but whatever criticism it levels at government it is pretty much always for not being statist enough! For not taxing or regulating enough. It is ergo more royalist than the king but the idea that it is anything other than profoundly viscerally pro statism and big government is frankly delusional.It is there to promote the State per se not necessarily the gov of the day which as I say it likes to chide to create the illusion that it is independent from gov which makes it in my book duplicitous as well as tendentious to the nth degree and of course in so doing in a most brazen and blatant fashion it should be added, it is flagrantly violating it's own charter wherein is contained a commitment to be impartial and ideologically neutral  and has been doing that for 70 years! A State within a State or what?

Of course the Capitalist Party would sell  off the BBC because a state broadcaster cannot be anything other than statist left to its own devices and gov should not be mandating ideological content anyway. Like water finds its own level state broadcasting finds its statists drawn magnetically to it ready and willing to broadcast the message. Only a free market in broadcasting can bring about the plurality of views those at the BBC are forever extolling but are never, by the nature of the beast of state broadcasting  able or willing to deliver, indeed they are in their very bones, fibre of their beings  and dna  comitted to preventing that outcome at all costs.
