And if the BBC is so one sided, where is the British version of Fox? Isn't Fox #1 in the USA? If there is a big demand for the "other side's view", shouldn't something like BBFox appear and take away all the BBC avertisers?


The BBC is a government agency, supported by the mandatory television tax. You tell me how any new network is supposed to compete against that.

It scarcely matters what the public would and would not like to see. The BBC acts as its own gatekeeper to put on "rightthinking" (perhaps "lefthinking would be a better word) stories. Even more so than the networks did in the US, and still do, even after Fox has taken so much of their audience.
