[CJB]

If we lose the BBC, we'll be left with the likes of Rupert Murdoch
controlling our news. The same media baron who's had countless
closed-doors meetings with David Cameron. [2] Unlike other parts of
the media, the BBC is fiercely independent - and that’s exactly why
the government is trying to dismantle it. [3]

The government thinks it can tear our BBC apart by stealth - slowly
slipping in cuts and changing the rules. But if hundreds of thousands
of us create a huge public outcry now, we can show David Cameron it'd
be a political disaster to destroy our BBC. Please share the campaign
today:

isn't a fan of the BBC. During the election, Cameron reportedly
threatened to 'close it down'.
