Finally…, now close it down

In September, Ofcom confirmed to the BBC it had 12 investigations still open into GB News, which launched promising to "change the face of news and debate in the UK".
 
The BBC is a "tool of the state". Always has been, always will be.
Never mind its pious statements about “neutrality” and “balance”. Just go back to their coverage of the Poll Tax Riots, Bloody Sunday, The Grunwick dispute, the 84/85 Miners Strike, The Falklands War, Orgeave, Hillsborough, the Balkans War, Iraq, British slaughter in Libya, Palestine, feeding stories from British Military Intelligence, the list is endless......British public pay a licence fee to be lied to and brainwashed.

It’s not privately foreign owned though as an insidious attack on our democracy pretending to be a news channel.

Sorry there’s No comparison.

Whatever the truth in this, it doesn't belong on a GBeebies thread.

It belongs where it wants to.
The OP mentioned RT being a "tool of the state" in the opening sentence, so I will question the BBC in that context.
The original story is quoted from the BBC, so there are ample links to question the British State Broadcaster.

A state broadcaster isn't “privately owned” — it's owned by the State.
The BBC is an illusion — It's neither independent nor privately owned, but it follows the Government and establishment line like a little poodle.

At least RT is honest about its role.

We're not going to agree, but it's worth challenging ourselves about what we've had drilled into us for decades. Listening and watching different reportage and interpretations doesn't mean we have to change our opinions. But it often challenges what we are told is factual and “truth”.....by the BBC.

Fair comment Jed, but to me they are no different to any other state broadcaster.
It's just they force the population to pay whether they want it or not.
Make it pay-per view or subscription like Sky.
This is 2024, not 1922.

They abide by ofcom and are impartial in their news coverage despite what people think, the left say it’s biased and right say it’s biased so it must be doing something right.

As I say the alternative is far worse.

Sky News isn't PPV or subscription.

No one is forced to pay the licence fee if they don't want to watch live TV.

And you're right, its 2024 not 1922, and watching live TV (or not) is very much a choice now.
