the marxist analysis of this smoke and mirrors exercise
as this article shoes, the real target here is any information that fails to show the zionist settler regime as less than
a victim..
"..Davie headed a BBC Board stacked with Tory government appointees. For the government and a media demanding more control over the state broadcaster, and ideally its demise, having a Tory as director general was a good start.
This year the Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM)
provided damning evidence of systematic bias against the Palestinians in the BBC’s coverage of Israel’s genocide. The CfMM report was published after the BBC, under Davie,
shelved the documentary “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack”, saying the film “risked creating a perception of partiality”.
But none of this was enough to satisfy the cabal of leading Tories and MAGA Republicans.
After Davie resigned, Nigel Farage, the leader of the far-right Reform UK and a friend of Trump’s, stated that the resignation of Davie and Turness “must be the start of wholesale change. The Government needs to appoint somebody with a record of coming in and turning companies and their cultures around” and “Preferably, it would be someone coming in from the private sector who has run a forward-facing business”.
This is a UK version of
Gleichschaltung: the Nazi regime’s effort to “bring into line” all aspects of political and cultural life and subordinate them to the state’s ideology. Trump, a known admirer of Hitler and his regime, is seeking to emulate the Nazis in the US with his attack on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting—which is shutting down following his move in July to halt all its funding. This campaign is now being extended to Britain’s state broadcaster and, by extension, the rest of the world’s media.
The reason for Davie falling on his sword, when many in the BBC were arguing for opposition to Prescott’s claims, is suggested by his own appointment to head the BBC in 2020 being central to plans to shift it further right.
