I have a lot of love for the #BBC (just not the #News part) it represents great children's and educational programming; fantastic light entertainment; amazing documentary series; global, national and local #radio of a high quality; it is the backbone of classical, niche, independent and live music in the UK. It does impressive broadcast and digital engineering R&D; and probably a whole load more that I've forgotten.

How. Could. They. Be. So. Stupid?

#Media oligarchies smell opportunity.

The BBC is the biggest prize in the information war – and the right may be about to destroy it

The corporation is always under attack. But this time it has been sabotaged by conservative ideologues deep within its heart. Is it time for the culture secretary to step in? By Dorian Lynskey
