That's a pretty facile reading of it. It might surprise you that Curtis is centre right himself.
- _cs2017_ 6y agoHe self identifies as a liberal in this interview https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium.MAGAZINE-who-s-really-in-power-in-the-age-of-trump-1.5487766 https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium.MAGAZINE-who-s-real....

- flagrant 6y agoLiberalism is centre-right. Please remember that Adam Curtis is British, the American political spectrum doesn't really apply here.
