The worst type of information distortion the BBC do isn't the biased way they manipulate reports. Omission, not acknowledging something exists, is the most damaging thing they do. A perfect example from today's news. The PM has tough financial decisions to make. His only options according to the BBC: raise taxes on all of us or cut spending hitting all of us. Implication being that we, the public, have to carry this burden. No one else. No mention that other options exist: - Wealth tax on the richest - Financial transaction tax - Higher VAT on luxury goods - Ending corporate welfare for big companies like the major supermarkets - Ending tax subsidies for fossil fuel giants - Closing loopholes on corporate profit shifting - £500bn uncollected by HMRC since 2010 And don't assume this is just the BBC. Sky, ITV, LBC and every national newspaper are doing exactly the same. These alternative choices simply don't exist in the national conversation.
