The problem with the BBC and MSM is that they give biased reporting.
Biased not just in terms of stilted language but probably more
importantly the prominence with which they report stories.

Just how important a story is depends on the individual viewing that
programme. Look no further than the World Cup for proof of that.

I was rather appalled to find Newsnight devoting almost the entire prog to
the World Cup last night. Even more so given Trump is in Europe and
spouting even more lies than usual.


Effective propaganda needs an audience. So MSM has to provide stories
that it thinks will boost its audience, the stories people want to see.

That isn't really relevant to a discussion about the
propoganda/advertising they push at the audience.
