Anyone can Google it and find the truth PS, theyre funded through forced contributions from the public.

The principal means of funding the BBC is through the television licence, costing £145.50 per year per household (as of April 2010).

And BBC is vastly different than FOX or WSJ in that its Government TV, much like PBS so their bias is effectively government propaganda paid for by the British public.
Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are not the same as taxpayers being forced to subsidize a political party's campaign through a nationalized broadcasting corporation, forced to pay for the propaganda whether they agree with that partys platform or not.
Pure bullshit, the BBC has an independance that corporate owned stations can only dream of. Anyone thinking otherwise needs to get a grip.
Great, so you proved what no one is denying, that the BBC is publicly funded. Now show me some proof that it has a major left wing bias, or that the government use it for propoganda. Once again you have been proved wrong on point A so jump to point B.
Just to save you some time, since I am in a happy mood, in 2004 BBC reporters went on strike because the Labour government tried to interfere with production output. So does it make sense to you, that a left leaning organisation, would protest interference from a left leaning government, given your claims ?
