Comments

This quote from the Guardian piece is spot on in its description of the BBC (and the rest of the media):

"The British press, the worst in the west, demoralises the national psyche. It makes people miserable. It raises false fears. It proclaims that nothing works, everything gets worse, and it urges distrust of any public official or politician."
