The so called Marxist media

It would appear that the damned American liberal media has drifted across the Atlantic if the editor of the Daily Mail is to be believed, ever a risky option. In fact, we are told by Paul Dacre, that it is not just liberalism that we have to fear but the terrifying spectre of "cultural Marxism" on our airwaves. Mr. Dacre used the occasion of the Hugh Cudlipp Lecture to accuse the BBC of "institutionally biased left-leaning views" along with its fellow members of what he calls the "subsidariat" the Times, Guardian and Independent. He tells us that these media outlets are "consumed by the kind of political correctness that is patronisingly contemptuous of what it describes as ordinary people" (aka Daily Mail readers.

I'm glad that he cleared that up. I am sure that he is proud that his publication is a stalwart line of resistance to this insidious trend.
