Mind The Gap?
The BBC has very successfully spun yesterday's news about itself as being about a "gender pay gap".
But in fact, it is about obscene amounts all round, to upper-middle-class, liberal-Right, mostly white people.
Just how Right Wing do you need to be to think that the BBC is 'Left Wing'? This is the channel that fawns over the Royals & had a cookery show devoted to the anniversary of Churchill's death. The BBC is not 'Left Wing' & never has been, it is of the liberal Establishment. Perhaps if it were genuinely Left Wing it might be worth tuning in. Oh yeah & the 'anti Israel bias' myth? This is the channel that refused to broadcast an emergency appeal for Gaza...REFUSED, what part of that word don't people understand?
