As British New Left culturalists,the authors analyze the hypocritical"mass acceptability"of the British TV media represented by BBC and ITV in the late 1950s.When BBC and ITV are dealing with TV debates and discussion programs,although these programs vary greatly in form and content,they all have serious problems,which are caused by some common attitudes of the directors of such programs,that is,the television media lean towards policy decisions already made by capitalist countries.Only in the case of last resort,the right to think will be handed over to the audience.This leads the general public to settle for a superficial level of entertainment in the fight against certain programs.TV media underestimate the richness and diversity of the public's attitude towards life,reflecting the fact that the British capitalist mass culture is the loss of being"fair and unbiased"and the erasure of"class"nature.
