BBC’s True Lies - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

ABOUT THE BOOK:-

BBC’s True Lies unveils heretofore undisclosed facets and facts about the BBC, prompting us to scrutinize its claim as the ultimate arbiter of authentic information. The book brings to light the cleverly crafted image of BBC’s ‘independence and impartiality’ with a global audience, while subtly becoming a part of the British security and intelligence system, both historically and in modern times, aligning with establishment interests.

The book points out how the BBC, while funded by the people through mandatory license, state support in forms of grants etc, still manages to avoid the label of ‘state-controlled media’. There also seems to be a common thread in the BBC's reporting which tends to aggravate the fault lines in the developing and under-developed world. This critical look at the BBC is meant for readers all around the world as it deals with matters of global importance. The book aims to empower readers to approach global media outlets with discernment, encouraging a more thoughtful and informed interaction with the information provided by such influential but potentially biased sources.
