Panorama made a stupid editing mistake. But compare this to the deliberate and systemic attempt, sustained across years, to ensure that BBC output aligns ever more closely to the demands of economic power. Against your straw of bias, I raise you a haystack.

Something special about large-scale systemic corruption or regression. Large facilities where grownups go in and grownup-sized babies come out. Auditoriums of hypno screens and chairs with restraints. Sounds of begging through dorm walls as people helplessly push their adulthood into their pants.
