I wouldn't usually be so cynical, but I noticed recently how the BBC was responding to the inflation crisis, by somehow making it out to be some external thing that nobody could control, and nobody could have predicted. When in fact there were many people saying that the massive state spending programs during coronavirus, were going to contribute to a high rise in inflation, and that policies such as paying the wages of the entire middle class were not going to come without a cost. The BBC manufactured consent for those state policies, then now act like inflation is some random incident, like the weather.
