Same thing in Denmark.
Politicians do not interfere with the taxed funded broadcasters - they only get to decide the overall scope of them and their size.
It secures a much less biased station than the privately owned ones as we see so many times in the states as the people funding it is the entire taxed population - and the population of course has different political views. This effectively means that if the majority of voters think the station broadcasts a load of politicially charged nonsense they can just vote for a party who will either cut funding or change the fundamentals of how the station is to work in the future, thus securing that the station in the first place doesn't go to one of the two extremes.
I can't think of a more democratic way of handling a media outlet.

I am quite sure that you have, at some point in your life, enjoyed a number of excellent BBC productions. Quite how it is depressing is beyond me?
The BBC is to be generally considered an institution of the United Kingdom, not too dissimilar from that of the Royal Family, and is therefore protected by a royal charter to the British public. The charter is reviewed periodically and amended if necessary, and it is also worth pointing out that is is also externally regulated by OFCOM. Some suggest that, in recent years under a Conservative government, the newer charters better serve for a right-wing bias. I am not particularly sold on that notion; many critics say it panders to the left-wing liberals, others to the right-wing Tory (scum). I would daresay that this suggests a firm balance on the political spectrum, although it must be said that there has always been a solid left-wing leaning with regards to cultural output on the BBC. The great problem that the BBC has right now, and it is similar for many bastions of journalism, is funding. Tory governments have purposely cut the budget made available to the BBC over a period of several years. In short though, absolutely no politican would dare interfere with the BBC in any major way - it's too much of a cultural cornerstone for Great Britain.
And before folk rile up, I would like to enforce the point of view that left/liberal/right/conservative leanings hold very different definitions in the United Kingdom (and I daresay Western Europe) compared to the United States. Many democrats in the USA sit quite nicely on the political spectrum with our Conservative government.
Well, since the Gov. sends the cash, they are the ones in charge. I'm not sure how the UK system works, but lets say the majority of people vote in a political office that changes the BBC "fundamentally", then you have a revolving door of state sponsored propaganda that whichever party is in charge gets to send the message. As for cutting the funding, that's unlikely considering the Gov. is the one who would have to take power away from themselves. I'm not saying the U.S media is great as it is. I think they are going radical because they're losing views to social media. So as technology advances, I think things will stabilize. (assuming no wide scale political unrest breaks out.)

On the contrary, everything I've seen from the BBC is degenerate, anti british, anti white, and anti christian.
"English flag is racist" - Coming from people who decided to moved to a country that is 90% british, then claiming the country's flag they moved to is racist

"Blacks were the first in britian" another blatant twist of history trying to included blacks in the history of Britian. I'm not saying that they couldnt have been there but they least weren't there before the Romans came in. But the way the film goes, it seems like blacks were least half the population at anytime.

BBC is anti Christianity

rewriting history with people who werent even there. This is honestly an insult and racist to the Greeks for portraying Achilles as a black man, even if Achilles was not real, its THEIR history, THEIR culture and it should be written as THEY have it.

anti white

Nothing is safe from the BBC, this is what happens when a nationally supported broadcasting center has free reign on what it can show and not show. Everything I've seen from the BBC is anti anything that is good with Europe and supports anything that isnt or is bad about Europe, homosexuality, mass immigration, islamification, degeneracy all. This is where your money is going to fellow Brits.
Last note, what the hell is this BBC? https://www.bbc.com/ideas/videos/wha...entit/p06ltbj1

Interesting statement, and a highly biased one - unless you've managed to only view the programs you disagree with (which I doubt).
In any case - I'm sure you will find that They Shall Not Grow Old won't be part of your list of anti-whatever - if you ever get to see it (then again, there are no blacks featured nor women so it must be sexist and racist, unless your criteria for these things only count when it is anti religion, anti white men, etc. etc.).
