BBC is funded by the license fee, which the public pays for. This label is both wrong and insinuating there’s government bias (there’s not)
Discussion
The public pays for all government programs, even if the funding is through government debt.
The "iron law of oligarchs" posits that within any institution there will be a concentration of power and influence into the hands of the few. This applies to capitalism, communism, democracy, theocracy, dictatorships etc., its a product of human interaction. The idea that "the public pays", is just like democracy " for the people, by the people", they completely neglect the sociological reality that power and influence will concentrate somewhere.
Do you as an individual have the privilege of divesting from the BBC, do you have editorial power over the outlet?
