The Elephant in the room

I subscribe to many blogs and publications, viewing and absorbing many points of view, but in this case I could not have said it better myself.

  1. That the BBC is biased to the left is so obvious that it doesn’t merit disussion. I used to visit the website ‘biasedBBC’ but there is no longer any point because the case is closed. There are parts of the media which would be described as biased towards the right BUT there is a fake left/right puppet show which absorbs the interests of the masses and successfully distracts them from what is really happening. It is exactly as Montague Norman, former Governor of the Bank of England (1920 – 1944) said (or didn’t as Phantom insists): “By dividing the voter through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance.”

    As soon as one asks oneself a question and pursues the answer, support for the answer begins to take shape. As to whether Norman did say what is attributed to him, I cannot absolutely confirm for I was not present at his meeting with the American Bankers’ Association. But here is how Montague Norman assisted the rise of the nazis in Germany:

    Is Montague Norman the kind of man who would seek to divert attention away from the malignant activities of the bankers? Oh yes, there’s little doubt of that.

  2. “As soon as one asks oneself a question and pursues the answer, support for the answer begins to take shape.”

    Known to scientists as confirmation bias.

    Also known as looking at the world through shit colored glasses.
