With such a long history of attacks on the BBC from the reactionary right, it is easily forgotten that before the rise of Thatcherism the left were highly critical of the BBC, which was widely seen as part of the establishment; as in fact it was and is. Indeed John Reith was very proud that the BBC was considered as such and saw the term as a compliment.
