The BBC actually used to be independent and held the government to account. That all changed with David Kelly.
It isnt bought by private individuals but if the rest of the media that is is bleating the same tune it will follow. The end result is the same.
Every time they step out of line the government threatens to cancel the TV license.
Theyre also lacking in sheer journalistic manpower these days. It almost doesnt matter how impartial they are if they mainly crib from twitter, reprint press releases and report on government edicts.
