The BBC Thinks It Has The Divine Right to Control Public Opinion. This Is A Threat to Free Speech and Liberties
“It is a folly to believe that a BBC presenter’s opinions expressed outside work hours could sway the impartiality of the corporation’s news. But the BBC acts as if it has a divine right to dictate what the public should or shouldn’t know, think, or do, much like other corrupted public institutions. They exercise control and ownership over their employees, like Lineker, who have ongoing disputes over their social media usage.
It’s not only about allowing Lineker to express his opinion, whether we agree or disagree, but the real issue is how public institutions aim to curtail our liberties by controlling what we know, think, and do.
No rational person could entertain such a ludicrous notion. Yet, the BBC conducts itself as though imbued with the divine right to dictate what the public should or should not know, think, or do.
It is no different from other corrupted public institutions, wielding dominion and command over those it employs, like Lineker, who hold longstanding grievances with the BBC over their social media usage.
It is not merely a question of permitting Lineker to voice his opinions, regardless of whether people find them foolish, reckless, or ignorant. The veritable issue is how public institutions, as a whole, seek to restrict our freedoms by dictating what we know, think, and do.
These institutions, much like dysfunctional and corrupted bureaucracies, present a grave threat to our fundamental rights, including free speech. Hence, we must remain watchful against these institutions’ covert efforts to curb our liberties and ensure the safeguarding of our fundamental rights.
The BBC’s actions in this regard are but an indication of a wider malaise that afflicts public institutions. We must act decisively to secure our liberties and thwart the encroachment of these corrupted bureaucracies on our fundamental rights.”
