BBC generally works pretty well and produces a lot of quality content (even many kinds that are not necessarily commercially viable but nevertheless benefit us all when they're made). I don't see what's inherently negative about government journalism, although I certainly wouldn't trust the independence of say Voice of America based on the way it's run. But the BBC shows it doesn't necessarily have to be that way.
