What’s you’re point?

Do you point out that the BBC is owned/paid by the British government when someone posts BBC? (or NPR for that matter)

[ladon86]

They’re very different. The BBC is an independent organization funded directly by license fees paid by television owners. Unlike RT, it is independent from direct government intervention, and it doesn’t attempt to advance the interests whichever party is in power. The BBC primarily exists to serve people living in Britain. RT is directly funded by the Russian government, and is targeted primarily at other countries outside Russia.

Jee, here I thought the World Service (the only BBC I can get) was targeted at me :S

Radio liberty was forbidden from transmitting in the US by Congress.

I guess that depends on how much you trust a government news source when that government is headed by a guy that murders journalists that disagree with him.

What a load of self rightous BS.

The russkies are pricks. So are we.

In the context of a nation the UK had an adversarial relationship with, yes, that would be a prudent thing to point out.

Every day I drive through the counties that handed Trump his victory. Trust me the decline is real.

Must be nice to worry about the messenger. I’ll worry about the toxins DuPont dumped in the local water or the lead leeching from my tap.

But hey, I can afford to boil pasta with bottled water, so who cares?
