By way of Sullivan: [1]
Churchill’s doctor, Lord Moran, favored continuing the BBC monopoly. When he questioned Churchill about it, the great man exploded. “For eleven years they kept me off the air. They prevented me from expressing views which have proved to be right. Their behavior has been tyrannical. They are honeycombed with Socialists – probably with Communists.”
True again today. They no longer have a monopoly – but they still force Brits to pay for propaganda. This nugget can be found in “Diaries of Lord Moran: The Struggle for Survival, 1940-1965,” page 417.
Hmmm. Perhaps we should be taking a cue from Churchill with regards to our own CPB/NPR.
