It’s endless. I was listening to the BBC news at 9am and up popped yet ANOTHER item on Ted Kennedy. Both those interviewed were acolytes of the great man and were trotting out cliches like he was “A Lion” and “The champion of the ordinary man.” The BBC propagandising for Kennedy has been absolutely stunning, they are running it 24/7 and are determined that their hero be cast in the best possible light.

He is an icon for the hard Left and that is why the BBC are lionising him.
