Rather than trading insults - fun though it is - on twitter I'd be happy to come and talk to @piersmorgan about why we should all be worried about a state-backed broadcaster that internalises and regurgitates the narrative of the Government of the day.
This is what the BBC's Brexitcast sneers at the EU for wondering (listen to yourself from 42:25 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…). Yet, as the FT's Daily Brexit Briefing observes, it was what senior Tories were briefing and what EU commentators here were wondering. 
Not hard to understand why the Government might now want to say 'only the stupid EU could possibly have thought a big Johnson win will mean a softer Brexit'. But why is the BBC pushing a narrative which it must know to be false?
A media dominated by a nativist or nationalistic Right is far from ideal. But at least we'd know where we are: we all know their agenda. At things stand, the BBC is completely dominant and its key players whisper sweet Government nothings into the ears of a still trusting public.
