Eugene David<br>...The One-Minute Pundit

The ideological pretzel of liberalism, defined:

The BBC's mental assumptions are those of the fairly soft Left. They are that American power is a bad thing, whereas the UN is good, that the Palestinians are in the right and Israel isn't, that the war in Iraq was wrong, that the European Union is a good thing and that people who criticise it are "xenophobic", that racism is the worst of all sins, that abortion is good and capital punishment is bad, that too many people are in prison, that a preference for heterosexual marriage over other arrangements is "judgmental", that environmentalists are public-spirited and "big business" is not, that Gerry Adams is better than Ian Paisley, that government should spend more on social programmes, that the Pope is out of touch except when he criticises the West, that gun control is the answer to gun crime, that... well, you can add hundreds more articles to the creed without my help.

I'm still convinced that many who say they wish to "reform" the Beeb are using this as a means of getting it in RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'s hands (and no, Michael Wolff, I don't think for a second he wouldn't want it), and that's why I'm not wholly sympathetic to the cause. Nevertheless, having to consume American media every single day, I know the feeling.
