Also for those who are British how does a publicly owned station get away with blatant propaganda on the taxpayer dime? Well, PBS and NPR are just as bad here
Because taxes have long since ceased to be a beholden to income and are instead just "passive income" for the government. You can't stop them from taking it and they don't give a shit about spending it.
So by being tax funded they are more free to do bullshit like this then if they weren't, because they are under literally no threat of ever seeing a monetary consequence of it. Short of the British finding their balls and marching on the BBC HQ with torches, they are free.
