BBC Still Ignore The Elephant

Of course, they ignore the elephant—what choice do they have? Especially in the hallowed halls of self-congratulation like the BBC, where journalists don’t just see themselves as part of the elite, but as the elite within the elite: the anointed priesthood of insight, objectivity, and moral clarity. They’ve clawed their way to the top, bled for it, sacrificed—so the illusion must be preserved at all costs. Failure? Unthinkable. Doubt? Heretical. The whole edifice would crack if they so much as acknowledged that they, too, are fallible sacks of bias and ego. And so, anyone who challenges the sacred narrative must be ritually discredited—because admitting error would mean admitting they’re just human after all. And that simply won’t do.
