How to listen to the Today prog without getting High Blood Pressure

The clue's in the name: Public Service Broadcasting. It does what it says on the tin! It's remit, inplicit and explicit in the job title is to represent the Public Services, to be their champion, defender - against government 'cut backs', 'Austerity' (you what?!) to catalogue the depredations in public services by wanton Ayn Rand like tory wreckers, free market zealots, crazed capitalist-loving Darwinist survival of the fittest right wingiac tories aided and abetted by the 'right wing press'. Are you with the programme -The Today programme?

If it was the Muslim Broadcasting Service you know what you would expect, ditto Catholic, it goes with the territory.

Now do you understand ladies and gentlefolk? How can you be annoyed or get high blood pressure once you know what the Bbc is for and what it's unremitting agenda is? Would you read the Guardian and get annoyed with it for being Left wing? It's the nature of the beast.

I get that it is bloody annoying because the Bbc is pretending to be what it is not -impartial and objective - that drives people nuts and rightly so. Pretty much every topic is about how the public services are in mortal danger, are withering on the vine, could die yada yada yada, shroud wave city. Public Services representatives probably have rooms at the bbc so frequently are they called upon to do their Cassandra routine. But my anti blood pressure guide is to simply recognize that the beeb is this mouthpiece and megaphone for the big state, for statism, for rule by Public Service -it is the political arm of the Public Services, its platform and propaganda unit -then you can listen and get an education into left wing thinking, the left wing mindset and what we are up against -who the enemy is.

At the risk of endlessly repeating myself the Capitalist Party would sell off the Bbc and bring its 100 years of misrule propagandizing for the State to an end.
