If you can't beat 'em, impugn 'em:
The controller of BBC1 launched an unprecedented attack on Rupert Murdoch yesterday, calling the media billionaire a "capital imperialist" who wants to destabilise the corporation because he "is against everything the BBC stands for".
Only partly true. Murdoch is against much of what the BBC stands for. He sells his news to viewers; the success of his media giant is directly dependent upon a British desire to read the Sun or watch Sky. The BBC enjoys a compulsory television tax. "Destabilization" is, of course, what's known in the private sector as "competition." Who are the imperialists, again?
