it's defining the boundaries between right and left for you to make sure that you only look at it from that perspective.

if you use a class perspective, you would see that they're doing whatever makes them profit and part of that is making sure that they have your attention.

I'm all for bashing the BBC, but profit? They're publicly funded

Publicly funded arm of a government in tow to the capitalist class = our tax pays for their propaganda

not entirely and not for long.

What's this a reference to? Is the BBC allowed to take outside funding?

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

not entirely means that over a third of its revenues comes from private/commercial sources.

not for long means that their public funding is going to end in 2027 and that's when a majority of their revenue will switch to private/commercial sources and they will become like any other form of legacy media.
