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?
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.
