Trump and Plato's views on tyranny and democracy

Below is the video that we watched today looking at how Plato's predictions about ruling systems can be applied to the current situation in America.
Do familiarise yourself with the video and the ideas and look for examples to support the following questions:
 
  • Is it biased?
  • Does this conform to the BBC's editorial guidelines? (found here)
  • How is Trump represented?
  • Who is the target audience for Newsnight?
  • The comments have been 'disabled' for this video, why do you think this is? 
  • How might different audiences respond to this?
  • Does this reinforce or challenge dominant ideologies about those in power (the Bourgeoisie)?
