and reliable reporting as you can get outside the BBC

“Russian state owned media bad. British state owned media good.”

I guess you’re just assuming it’s bad based on its name

No, we know it’s bad because it’s literally run by the US government.

The BBC isn’t state-owned. I know facts and nuance are tough but I do mention this in another comment. Go read it, you might learn something!

Type: Statutory corporation with a royal charter

A statutory corporation is a government entity created as a statutory body by statute.

It doesn’t matter what language you try to couch it in, “state funded”, “editorial independence”, whatever. It was founded by the state, is funded by the state, and is a government entity. If it quacks like a duck.

Couch it? What? You’re just wrong, it’s not state-run. Like words matter.
