The BBC's Sexed-up Report

Can you imagine the power that PBS would have if we had let the left fund it as they wanted to?

The BBC, which is funded by a compulsory $180-a-year tax on every British household with a television,...

It's PBS on steriods. Just think what it would be like to be required to send in a couple of hundred bucks to the NY Times each year -- the BBC in print.

The parallel of the BBC to the recent debacle at the New York Times is obvious. A liberal institution with an agenda abandons its responsibilities to its constituents as it comes to believe the end justifies the means. The agenda consumes all and the institutions capitalize on their reputations to advance the agenda by debasing that which orininally earned them their requtations. These activites occur at PBS where they are tax supported.

But consider other institutions of high reputation which have committed these sins.

The aftermanth of 9/11 exposed the United Way for the elitist organization it had become. The affair with the Boy Scouts reveals how liberal it has become. These activities are tax protected. The Ford Foundation is but one illustrative example of an intituition which has gone hard left and is meddling in, for example, with illegal immigration, while using tax protected dollars.

The American Bar Association has betrayed its history and become an extension of the Democrat party in the judicial nomination process.

The perversion by acedemia of its traditions of free and independent scholorship have been so notorious as to require no cataloging here. The last egregious example of such betrayal of principles came from Berkley in that absurd psychological report. These activities are tax supported.

This phenomenon is so pervaisive that one must wonder it is somehow organic. Is there just something about leftists which make them able to seize control of these important institutions, seemingly by stealth?

So how could they "focus" the rays (emitted omni-directionally from random decay) so that the rays all go one direction and can be aimed? How do you "turn off" the device so it can be stored and transported

O Sullivan's first law: any organization that is not explicitly conservative will become more liberal with time.

O Sullivan is the former editor of National Review

Oops, sorry, pasted wrong quote.

Thanks for the reference to the Sullivan article which I enjoyed. He argument that these laws are eternal is supported by the date of his writing, 1989.

I would add Nathanbedford's law: As the organization becomes liberal, it betrays its founding principles.

I wonder if the author's explanation, that these organizations creep left because of the psychology, the anti free market bias, the worker bees bring with them (in effect they are self selected,) is adequate. I think there must be more - but at least we all see it as organic.

Ever since the left brought up the false argument of God vs. Science, people have given up their only reason for true free speech and personal private development of a philosophy with respect to what they make up of God. If science is to rule, then we live for science within a rigid infrastucture that controls people's lives according to some "scientific" mandate that is corrupted and cheated regularly If God rules, then science is there for life. The individual can then choose and select from the various "brides" around for mutual services for life. In Accademia and professional areas, in the name of so called separation of church and state, God is out. The biggest excuse to keep God out is to prevent so called religious wars between ritual structures that oppose each other. However, this is ridiculous, because the ritual structure of each serves a purpose and provides a valid service. IF we are a nation of services, there is nothing contradictory with a nation of industry of services with letting people express their own religions freely anywhere, so long as those "services" are not coerced, for a coerced service is not a service anymore... and the scientiscist world choosing to be serviced by science do not realize that those being paid to provide this service want to also be able to coerce this service indefinitely on the rest of the nation; like a loose mafya gang of a common scientific and pro-science code, imposing a monopoly of its protection services. Communism is at the basis of this, because communists have always said that a true communist does not join the communist youth gang or proletarian unions, but serves accademicaly as anyone else and climbs and infiltrates foreign nations thus. The message is tacit and subconscious and that is why the invasion is so stealthy. Add to that the liberalism which not only finds not fault in PC forms of service coercion (under the guise of humanitarianism for "confused people"), but which finds no fault in anything, but simply stages, where good and evil does not exist, truth or lie does not exist, but "simply" "competing realities", and you have a detonating mix of people who believe they are rational and thus right, and thus useful and thus also able to corrupt themselves by finding explanation for lies etc etc... It truly is a regimen of satan which mixes a form of anarchic governance, full of corruption and contradiction despite its claim to belong to the rational and lucid.
