About this listen

How and why the BBC distorts the news to promote a liberal agenda.

To some, it is the voice of the nation, yet to others it has never been clearer that the BBC is in the grip of an ideology that prevents it reporting fairly on the world. Robin Aitken, who spent 25 years working for the BBC as a reporter and executive, argues that the Corporation needs to be reminded that what is 'fake' rather depends on where one is standing. This punchy polemic galvanises the debate over how our licence-fee money is spent and asks whether the BBC is a fair arbiter of the news, or whether it is a conduit for institutional liberal left-wing bias.

Critic reviews

"The Noble Liar is going to make a lot of people feel uncomfortable.” (Claire Fox)

"The Noble Liar maps a world of self-obsessed and irresistibly comic liberals against whom the pendulum may already have begun to swing.” (Conservative Home)

This book is such a relief. Someone, Robin Aitken, has dared to speak up against all the repression by political correctness of any criticism of the new atheistic identity politics view of our world enforced on society by the media , the educational system , the judicial system and politicians.

it should be widely read

an excellent book daring to speak the truth

Well written and read. Coming from the horses mouth so to speak and being so well researched, I have no doubts about the facts and conclusions drawn. Make this man PM, and while you are at it abolish the liars that are the BBC

Great in depth and in truth

The BBC exposed.

Excellent book, listened in one of two sittings. Fair minded, based on experience and evidence, you'll never see the BBC in the same way henceforth. Highly recommended. Aitken's voice is eminently suitable as an added bonus!

Excellent summary of where we are

Smart history of how the BBC has and continues to manipulate our thinking to conform to neo-Marxist/liberal ideology.
I genuinely thought this a newer phenomenon but Robin teaches us that it’s been happening for decades, especially in relation to matters such as the Falklands War and when the BBC uses language such as ‘the government in London’ to disassociate itself from anything that could be affiliated to British imperialism.
For me, the veil has been lifted. I will cancel my bbc account and delete iPlayer from my devices with a view to cancelling my license completely until the bbc is defunded.
I would also like to credit Robin’s narration- which is near perfect and far better than most professional narrators I’ve heard recently.
We need more people like him in this world of madness.

I've felt for a long time that the media, not just the Beeb, is there to form our opinions in a definite direction. Most powerfully, as I see it, by what they don't tell you. This book calmly reasures me that it's not my imagination.

A fair appraisal

A profoundly concerning read, through which Mr Aitken crystallises the widely-shared doubts about the BBC’s supposed “impartiality”. The author uses skilful analysis founded upon years of insider knowledge, conducts a crime scene investigation with forensic precision and then presents a body of evidence to the reader. Mr Aitken bares the ugly truth that the BBC, in cahoots with the socially liberal left-wing political class, is engaged in an insidious airbrushing-out of the socially conservative point of view. Does that sound a bit extreme? Read the book and tell me I’m wrong. This book is, in equal measure, compelling and concerning. BBC: Guilty As Charged.

A nail hit squarely on the head

As much as the book did provide for good reading if you already are a sceptic of the BBC (I have been since 2014 but that entrenchment of scepticism has got bigger since 2016), I do feel the author needs to do a bit more to demonstrate references to the stories & scenarios he talks about in the book, as much as he already has included some of them. Nevertheless, he also gives the reader references of websites to go to in order to check out sceptics of the BBC that keep an eye on it’s bias which I happily will check out. He also should have acknowledged some accusations from the political left (only briefly showed 1 about the strike that got censored under John Reith’s leadership in the 1930s) about bias in the BBC and tried to examine and/or debunk them at his own pace. There were times during the audiobook where some paragraphs from the actual book were skipped which meant I had to quickly find other sections he started off on but still a good read.

Good expose of the BBC - just needs more references

One of the most important books I have read in years . Robin brings a clarity that is shocking in its clear truth . I’m buying 20 copies for friends as this is a MUST read!

A VITAL Read!
