I once described what you do as radical media studies, and I mean it as a compliment. I believe (possibly naively?) that complex media organisations like the BBC and the Guardian must contain dissenters who resent their organisations being manipulated, whether to the left, right, or apolitically-straight-ahead according to the green agenda, and will take heart from this kind of analysis. Only slightly off-subject: the Guardian’s environment editor John Vidal has just published dire predictions of future temperatures worse than Monbiot’s worst wet dreams, issuing from an MIT Global Change (that’s what they call themselves) thinktank, which is financed by ExxonMobil, Shell, BP and Electricité de France, among others. I’m only telling you so that I can report back to Vidal that you know. I’m trying, in a small way, to stir it up. Excellent.
