Özet
 What exactly is the purpose of the BBC nowadays - to entertain, educate and inform? But is that all? The broadcaster itself claims to be a fearless and independent provider of news tasked with ‘speaking truth to power’ – a true champion of the underdog.

However, as David Sedgwick reveals in his new book the reality is somewhat different: not only does the BBC diligently protect power from scrutiny, it attacks and attempts to discredit those who dare to challenge the status quo.

Formed in 1922 by the British establishment, the BBC has always been a reliable ally of ultra-wealthy and powerful interests. Indeed, the broadcaster occupies a pivotal position within an international corporate-political alliance which promotes only those narratives which consolidate the ‘global order.’

Using multiple examples of BBC reporting, the author argues that the tax-payer funded broadcaster is a proxy which acts on behalf of a tiny, but very powerful clique - a role which compels it to pump out disinformation on an industrial scale, misleading all those who consume its content.©2022 David Sedgwick (P)2023 W.

a worrying forensic examination of blatant BBC bias and incitement pushing their own dangerous narrative..we all remember the premature report of building 7 collapsing.. a sequence that they have conveniently lost

Confirms BBC bias

This book is well narrated, maybe slightly biased as there doesn't seem to be any arguments against the authors points of view.

However, the points seem valid and gives a well grounded view on what you probably already suspect about the BBC potentially being a horrendous propaganda machine.

key take aways; the MSM takes advantage of our busy lives relying on our susceptibility to being spoon fed information. "do your own research". Although slightly time consuming, critical thinking is essential. When you feel brave, share your findings and talk with real people.

interesting read

The book was well researched and a good balance of research with explanations that did not patronise nor overwhelm.
Despite being aware of BBC bias, I was shocked at the level of this. I listened audible and the reading was excellent. Well pronounced and appropriately paced.
The sections were the right length to keep interest and summaries helped to retain information.
A book well worth the listen or read.

Well researched and yet shocking information

This book confirms my belief that the BBC is a propaganda outlet for those who want total power and have captured the majority of news and media outlets. They do not have the best interests of the masses at heart.
