The Guardian is reliant on advertising as much as subscriptions (though there is then the income from its trust investments and other assets, which are dwindling and at risk).
The BBC is reliant on the support of the UK government, who essentially control it's future.
Serious analysis of the editorial lines of The Guardian and the BBC show pretty consistent pro-corporate pro-establishment bias.
- mratzloff 9y agoAgain, I said "not primarily reliant on advertising." The Guardian's readership revenue exceeds subscriber revenue[0]. BBC is taxpayer-funded. NPR relies on donations. Serious analysis of the editorial lines of The Guardian and the BBC show pretty consistent pro-corporate pro-establishment bias. Sure; so does The Economist. This is why I read multiple sources and then use my big animal brain to form my own opinion. :-) [0] https://digiday.com/media/guardian-u-s-got-profitable-pivoting-ads-reader-revenue/ https://digiday.com/media/guardian-u-s-got-profitable-pivoti...
- comice 9y agoIf the story, or viewpoint, is simply not available in the sources because of their common bias then reading multiple sources and making your own opinion won't help. It's difficult to form an opinion about issues that are not presented to you.
