Impartial & sensible Paul Dacre, lined up by opportunist liar Boris Johnson & the the @BBC-hating Tories to be the new @Ofcom & thus BBC regulator, attacked the BBC as a "monolith" pursuing "cultural Marxism" - a far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory.😳

The ever nuanced & professional Paul Dacre - incidentally with *zero* experience in broadcasting - said the @BBC "which glories in being open-minded, has become a closed-thought system operating a kind of Orwellian Newspeak."

Oh the irony.

In another nuanced & impartial critique, Paul Dacre was critical of David Cameron's alleged "sidelining of Thatcherism & his banishing of all talk of lower taxes, lower immigration & euroscepticism (which) are all part of the Tories' blood sacrifice to the @BBC god."

Greg Dyke commented that when he was the @BBC's DG "we did a piece of research on the readership of the Daily Mail & found that they were more likely to appreciate & like the BBC than the public at large. In other words, he thinks his readers are all like him but they are not".

The new @BBC Chair infamously gave the @Conservatives £400,000, & the new Director General used to be a regional Tory Party Deputy Chair.

In 2007, Paul Dacre said "Put to one side how preposterous it was that two @UKLabour stooges became (BBC) Director General & Chairman."

And a reminder of the evidence proving beyond any doubt whatsoever just how woke & left-wing the "Orwellian" @BBCNews was during the run up to the 2019 General Election:
