Lydia Conwell

Every now and then I read someone telling of their surprise at how the #BBC or the #Guardian is joining in with the right wing narratives, and I'm like, have you not paid attention for the past 20 years?

I mean, the BBC has been pro-establishment from the beginning. It is clear from the sorts of things it covers. This so called impartial service never has an anti-monarchy voice during some royal event, and it regularly portrays the West and NATO as the good guys.

It is a problem that people are still looking at their content for news, and are still surprised by their right-leaning content.

@llanciawn Yes, the BBC was once alright, but has become increasingly worse for some time.

@lydiaconwell main purpose of the guardian is to define the limits of what the people think of as left. It draws the line very much of the right side of leftism. A neoliberal left newspaper to prevent there being an anarchosyndicalist left newspaper.
