"Public service broadcaster" is even more correct.
Your original comment had truth to it but bundling the BBC in undermined that, however you define it here.
- LAC-Tech 4y agoWhat's the difference? Your term sounds like mine but dressed in less neutral, more positive language.
- mellosouls 4y agoI don't think it's less neutral - your (non-standard) definition conveys the idea of government mouthpiece which supports your original comment but doesn't reflect the BBC's history or mission.
- LAC-Tech 4y agoDidn't intend to convey it was a mouth piece for the government. But it's definitely official, and definitely a state institution, even the tail wags the dog a lot more than say XinHua. "Public Service" is plainly a positive term though. It lends an air of altruism. Not particularly interested in what nomenclature is standard (according to who? 7 etc etc).
