The BBC, Channel 4 etc. have been complaining lately about being under attack from their enemies. Why have they got enemies?
The broadcast media in the UK operate by suppressing reporting of items that they feel will be damaging to the peace and good governance of the UK. In particular the media have suppressed the effect of migration on education, the NHS and child poverty. See The pressure on the NHS and Education is related to migration, Childhood Poverty in the UK. They distort the truth by suppressing reporting of some of the causes of national problems. This cannot be good for democracy or for the governance of the country.
This monolithic support of migration has led to "collateral damage" in the form of suppressing any news that suggests that large scale migration is bad for the UK. What started as the suppression of negative coverage of migration is now extended to the suppression of news about anything related to migration.
The broadcast media are also involved in active campaigning to continue large-scale migration. As an example, they endlessly produce figures to suggest that migration is beneficial for the UK but never compare migration with work permits - see The Benefits of Immigration to the UK Economy. Once work permits are introduced into the debate it is impossible to maintain that migration is a better economic option. They distort the truth by suppressing all mention of alternatives to migration.
A major part of the opposition by the broadcast media to Brexit was based on migration. They polarised the debate into Racist Brexit supporters and "holy" Remainers. They did this even though there was massive support for Brexit from people who were non-racist and simply wanted self-government:
So what is going on? Why have the broadcast media decided that support for mass migration is the pinnacle of holy thought? Perhaps this started with a genuine desire to prevent racial tension but now it has become political. There are several reasons the broadcast media now support migration, many journalists were recruited to satisfy the needs of multiculturalism in the late 20th century, many journalists see themselves as migrants or potential migrants, a few journalists are linked to the Socialist Workers Party , many are trained in Post-Structuralism and lastly many journalists realise that future corporate employment may depend on evidence of Internationalist fervour. The net result is that the BBC and Channel 4 have only hired journalists and editors who support a post-modern pro-migration narrative and so have no idea about the truth. These broadcast media are the post-truth problem.
The broadcast media do not usually lie, they just suppress any news that does not support their agenda or use a "punch and judy" model of "balanced" reporting where a university professor is interviewed to support their viewpoint and a drunk emerging from a pub is interviewed about the opposing view.
The state financed broadcast media are now our enemy and have been allowed to employ a pool of like minded people who are pushing their own agenda. When more than half the population voted for Brexit it is shocking that there is scarcely one BBC journalist on record as being pro-Brexit. (Undoubtedly the BBC journalists would think "but we are all too clever to have voted Brexit and could be trusted to be impartial" without realising that this confirms that they are a problem).
It is not the "Liberal Elite" who are damaging democracy in the UK, it is mainly the BBC and Channel 4. They have created an imaginary "centre ground" that politicians vie to fill but which has no relationship to the real political centre ground in the country.
