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

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

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 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.
