John Reith ...NOT spinning in his grave

John Charles Walsham Reith, 1st Baron Reith KT, GCVO, GBE, CB, TD, PC - Padrino of the State Broadcasting Company


A quote from the Canadian Spectator blog on the subject of J7T telling the BBC to get f**ked
stuffed (Canadians are a little less sweary than Londoners)...

Listen you simple-minded non-conspiracy theorists. Which of the following propositions is most plausible: (a) The government goes to all the trouble of running a broadcasting operation to keep you informed about current affairs and in particular to expose government corruption, incompetence, murder and theft; or (b) The government goes to all the trouble of running a broadcasting operation to keep you mis-informed about current affairs and in particular to conceal government corruption, incompetence, murder and theft?

See: once you ask the right question, the truth is obvious.

I think the answer must be a) Stef.

Our government wouldn't do anything against the interests of the people, would they?
Not while they have people like this watching their every move.

a couple of nanoseconds spent trawling in the comments section will give idea some idea what the not particularly well concealed agenda is
