Controlling some narratives does not mean controlling them all.
The BBC is not a clandestine operation, but does sometimes work with the government on special issues particularly for national security and/or in times of crisis.
Even knowing all of this, it's still a pretty good news source actually.
It's better than the Canadian CBC or US PBS/NPR in terms of 'objectivity' though those three entities do have some good qualities.
BBC is nothing like Russia Today for example, or even CNN/Fox or major braodcast networks, all of which have different levels of relationship with government.
