The BBC is more like a collection of fiefdoms than a single entity with a well-defined editorial policy. So it&#x27;s not good at being consistent.<p>But as a rule it&#x27;s pro-Establishment - sometimes smarmily so - with occasional progressive breakouts.<p>Generally the media in the UK are terrible, with a definite right-wing slant, even from supposedly left-leaning dailies like The Guardian = which practically exploded with rage and &#x27;What&#x27;s wrong with all you peasants?&quot; indignation when Corbyn was elected to lead the Labour party.<p>Unfortunately racism and hate have a big audience. The Murdoch papers and The Mail would have no influence if people decided they were trash and stopped buying them. But no one <i>ever</i> went bust pandering to lowest-common-denominator smear-and-fear journalism.
