What’s actually happening here, according to Rusbridger, is that these powerful media owners and editors – who control the majority right-wing press in Britain – are incensed that they can’t control the broadcast media and the BBC in the same way they do the print media.

The broadcast media has dissipated as a controlling force but it still influences older viewers and acts as a mythological source of objectivity, which is the reason its such a prized goal. Surfacing some of these networks and bring them into the light is, I hope, useful?
