So the idea that financial dealings among the super-elite include all sorts of scurrilous shenanigans is somehow new to reporters working for the BBC? If so, I trust their supposedly principled, scrupulous reporting even less than I already did. Anyway, the BBC isn’t far off from NPR in the U.S. in these terms; it’s long done little to challenge significantly the inequitous status quo. Which isn’t surprising, since their very existence as a “major” news source depends on it.
