The same is true of the BBC. Yes, the news arm of it is a problem, but the arms that educate and entertain have done untold good over its near 100 years. Even now, the BBC does more to keep all of British broadcasting honest than most people realise.
But it costs us, and has been under fire from conservatives for at least my entire lifetime as little more than a stealth tax. £170 a year (per household that accesses it) is a small price to pay for the good it does, but I fear that’ll come to an end sooner rather than later.
Its sorta funny to. Like I wonder how much british shit is sold due to bbc shows playing abroad and japanese shit from anime playing abroad. I mean it feels like it should almost pay for itself.
