In the light of this, it may surprise you to know that the British business press has been hotly tipping Dyke as the next Chief Executive of ITV. (ITV is the main British commercial broadcaster on terrestrial TV, and is in direct competition with the BBC). Incidentally, and sorry to be pedantic about this, but the BBC is not 'state-run' (despite a widespread misconception to the contrary in the U.S.)

No it doesnt surpris me, the UK media industry is an incestuous pond overflowing with leftwing scum.

Your second point about the BBC not being "state run", is incorrect. Its a public sector organization funded by a tax. It's a state broadcaster, end of story.
