According to common sense, any news organization is funded by some means. Which means it's biased by its nature in some way.
BTW, BBC is mostly government funded. Does it mean you disregard everything it reports about the government of the UK?
You have an old beef with USSR/KGB and Putin. So whatever you say about them is automatically suspect. How about that?
- dublinben 13y agoThe BBC is funded by the TV license fee, not the government. It is an independent entity that is not dependent on government budgets.
- igivanov 13y agoThis is more relevant in the context (i.e. RT broadcasts for foreign audiences): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC "Though sharing some of the facilities of the domestic services, particularly for news and current affairs output, the World Service has a separate Managing Director, and its operating costs have historically been funded mainly by direct grants from the British government." Even the TV license fee is just a tax collected and redistributed by the government.
