In contrast to socialist broadcasting, “imperialist broadcasting” “clearly has its apologetic character and its militant, antihumanist function” (ibid., Page 8). In society, according to Eichhorn, there is no space free of ideology and further: “Where we do not (participate) in an educational setting, bourgeois ideology has an effect. De-ideologizing our educational programs meant making room for the intrusion of bourgeois ideology ”(ibid., Page 18).
