But do I know the answer? The BBC should for instance be the vehicle in which earnest and truthful discourse takes place. But I was in the UK as you know recently, I'm back in NZ now, and the bias in the news and current affairs programmes, the carefully curated language that cannot explore too far the bounds of reality, all examination through an acceptable lens or within the confines of a pair of well fitting blinker, The failure to examine context, the shallowness of enquiry, the perpetual failure to ask the obvious uncomfortable questions, the unchallenging of obvious fallacious reasoning or rhetorical flourish, it was just so depressing.
