George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 23/09/20249. BBC news and current affairs expend great effort on what they call “analysis”. But the analysis never digs below a certain level. In fact, you could expand the initial question: when did you last hear a critique of power structures on the BBC? 1736
George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 23/09/202410. The BBC can be pretty good at explaining the immediate causes of an issue, but that’s where it tends to stop. The underlying dysfunctions caused by the exercise of economic power, that go beyond party politics and changes of government, are either ignored or avoided. 1472
George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 23/09/202411. Because this is common to almost all media, people hear no effective explanations of the traps in which they find themselves, or the perennial social dysfunction that resists changes in government. This makes them highly susceptible to the siren voices of the far right. 1448
