Personally I'd rather have a broadcaster that isn't sycophantic to any government be it left or right of centre. I mean what's the use of just parroting propaganda.
The truth is the BBC is a shadow of its former self, no longer an 'independent' thinking organisation, it simply broadcasts what it thinks the great British public think they want to hear, irrespective of what ever government is in power at the time. They need to be more demanding of politicians, they get away with not answering questions, prime example, just look at the way this government has been handling the pandemic, a total disaster, yet the BBC is just 'painting with numbers'.
