It's all Fox News, just aimed at different demographics. BBC caters to a higher vocabulary, but the only real difference on the menu is presentation -- it's still the same truck making deliveries in the back.


Everything is Fox News then. Even the stuff that is an accurate record of what appears to have happened (something Fox and most Murdoch publications couldn't be bothered with.)

Agree, though a population paying for its own brainwashing is probably not unique to the UK. Here in the good ole US of A, for example, we pay, it's funneled through different channels than the UK, but we still pay, oh yes, we pay....

@Joe,

To be fair to WR, he did say in comparison to the Beeb

Which is effectively to say no essential difference at all really.

Not Murdoch (he owns the Times and the Sun) the T.Graph is owned by two very odd charaters David and Frederick Barclay - do a bit of googling on them, weird pair who live on an isolated island in the channel not far from Jersey ....
