The BBC's approach to news reporting?

Do any of these quotations from leading Nazis in 1930s Germany strike you as being in any way relevant to how the BBC and its friends in the Labour party operate in the 21st century?

"The art of leadership... consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention."
Adolf Hitler


“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over”

Joseph Goebbels



"Not every item of news should be published. Rather must those who control news policies endeavor to make every item of news serve a certain purpose."

Joseph Goebbels

No, it's offensive to compare the BBC to a regime that killed millions. Given your own background you might consider that in future.

No.

Anon 16:41: Bingo! I win, I just knew that someone would misunderstand the comparison and cry foul. The idiocy and slefish sensitivity of the left will never cease to be utterly predictable.

Anon 17:29: I halso had a bet with myself that someone would reply with just 'No'. Sometimes you are so predictable.

EdP: Indeed!

Slefish? I don't geddit. Funny how predictable it is that those on the right can't spell.

Anon 08:38: How predictable that you would pick up on a typo and call it a spelling mistake. If you do not know the difference I would not be in the slightest bit surprised. Please take your supercilious attitude elsewhere.

The key question here is the relationship between Lord Reith, who always carried an ancient leather bound edition of the Oxford English Dictionary with him wherever he went, and Joseph Goebells who not many people know was actually both numerically dyslexic and unable to write words begginning with the letter 'A'. How many times did these two meet and what was the content of their discussions? Because this took place in the pre-digital age we may never know. Everything else though is mere tittle tattle.
