  Makes one wonder if she was talking about powerful people that run governments?

  If the BBC are covering it that means there’s nothing to the story.

  The BBC is regime propaganda and not in the business of speaking truth to power.

    speaking truth to power

    God I hate this phrase. It’s an Americanism that has bled into British culture and now politics. Utterly meaningless. Achieves nothing but making people feel like their making progress but aren’t at all.

    Oi M8 ur a cunt!

    Dave, woah. What are you doing?

    Speaking truth to power, innit.

    The truth element is so broad it could apply to anything and the power bit is so vague it could also refer to anyone. Bland catchphrase politics. Yuk.

      The BBC push narratives that don’t upset people in power. Is that better?

      Power = Politicians, royal family, billionaires, media owners, business interests.

      So if they’re covering a story then it has been sanitised and checked to ensure no one important is offended.
