Do any of you use Ground.news? It’s pretty great at finding multiple sources of information on the same topic and helping to compare biases. Sometime in the not-too-distant past they stopped including articles from RT.com. I’m not really sure why. I found it really helpful when people would post from the Russian government news agency and show them other sides of the story, or when they actually posted decent stuff, share it from something that isn’t so often crap.

    I don’t think you actually know how it works ?

    The government set the Charter.

    The Government can end the BBC at any time in number of ways, not least by refusing to enforce collection of the license free, which Boris Johnson threatened to do when he wasn’t receiving favourable treatment. Before that, David Cameron threatened to shut them down completely following unfavourable election coverage 2015z

    The Chair itself is appointed by the Secretary Of State and approved by the monarch .

    It is, the British Establishment.

      Do you?

      Ifyou want to criticize tve BBC(or other public media) you’ll find a lot of reasons, but your comments here are outright Russian and Chinese propanda narrative tvat are blatantly false. A BBC journalist can criticize the own government. If RT or Xinhua propagandists criticize the Kremlin or the CCP, respectively, they fall out of the window or simply dissappear.

        I have only pointed out how the BBC is setup and governed. It’s a matter of public record. I’ve pointed large media outlets are owed by the billionaire class and so have their own biases.

        You can verify everything I’ve said, or you can going around yelling Russia! China! Blatant lies !

        I don’t give a fuck, because I’m not responsible for your media literacy.

          It the context of the discussion on RT in this thread, your remarks are blatant whataboutism, exactly parroting RT’s and other propagandist’s narrative.
