Surviving Capitalism (Not) : BBC – a Biased Propaganda Arm of Anglo-American Power

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

BBC – a Biased Propaganda Arm of Anglo-American Power

Click here to access article by Steven MacMillan from New Eastern Outlook.

The BBC has nothing over the US corporate networks or the government's PBS. This trend of rather overt, manufactured propaganda has been accelerating since 9/11. It smacks of desperation, and it doesn't bode well for our future.

The BBC incessantly peddles Anglo-American propaganda under the auspices of objective and impartial reporting, distorting the truth of numerous conflicts and world news stories for the benefit of the Western elite. Independent media is the only antidote to this monolithic propaganda network, and boycotting the broadcaster is the only way to be free from BBC bias. [my emphasis]
