Aside from the organization's charter mandating editorial independence, the BBC being publicly-funded by the country's annual broadcasting fee ensures that it does not need to pander to politicians to conduct its operations. It's far more effective at this than PBS, which is more likely to be biased due to its need for corporate and charitable sponsors.
RT in contrast is only accountable to the Russian government, and ultimately Putin, and is thus unable to maintain editorial independence from the government's national and foreign policy interests.
@zante
Do you?
Ifyou want to criticize the BBC (or other public media in the West) you'll find a lot of reasons, but your comments here are outright Russian and Chinese propanda narratives that are blatantly false. A BBC journalist can criticize the own government. If RT or Xinhua propagandists criticize the Kremlin or the CCP, respectively, they fall out of the window or simply dissappear.
[Edit typo.]
This is a sealion.
It the context of the discussion on RT in this thread, your remarks are blatant whataboutism, exactly parroting RT's and other propagandist's narrative.
