An excellent piece of writing by Nick Cohen in Standpoint regarding the some convoluted mindset of the BBC.
…the disasters of the Bush Administration and their own intellectual and aesthetic inadequacies have allowed writers to get away with a bad faith that would have had them booed off the stage in less fevered times.
As a matter of course, BBC writers have blamed crimes against humanity perpetrated by the enemies of the West on the “root cause” of Western provocation. Occasionally, but more frequently than the casual viewer might appreciate, they have gone a step further and presented the atrocities of totalitarianism as the atrocities of the West.
Maybe they were frightened that they would upset their employers 
or friends if they wrote honestly. More probably, contemporary liberal ideology has so enveloped them, they cannot understand the implications of their own work.
For whatever reason, the BBC still had the brass neck to show fanatically racist white Christian sectarians beheading a moderate Muslim, when nowhere in the world are white Christians, fanatically racist or otherwise, beheading Muslims…
…Subconsciously, the executives of BBC Drama must have registered the terrors of our time. The dogma of their social set, however, has imprisoned them in a looking-glass world where Left becomes Right, Right becomes Left and the crimes of one side become the crimes of the other…
…For reasons that are not all of its own making by any means, the Bush Administration has reinforced the idea of a satanic America among the intelligentsia. Few intellectuals understand it yet, but an ideological crisis is almost upon them. Their supposed “root cause” of mankind’s ills will retire to a Texas ranch in January and a new America will begin. Contrary to liberal expectations, its arrival will not appease radical Islamism or Chinese and Russian nationalism. They will remain as potent and as dangerous as before. Liberal intellectuals will have to decide soon whether to face them or carry on in the old rut.
