Thank zark for people like Ken Loach. As our media grows ever more right wing, Loach has criticised the bbc for no longer standing up for minorities and the poor. It is no longer objective.”The BBC is very aware of its role in shaping people’s consciousness; this is the story you should hear about, these are the people worth listening to. It’s manipulative and deeply political.” Mind you, given that there are just as many people who accuse the bbc of having a left wing bias as having a right wing one, you could conclude it must be fairly objective.
