The budget could come from a broadcasting levy as an example.

I agree, Chris. But I think it is the case that there is a majority of liberal minded reporters who skew the news to suit their own agenda. The obsession with the climate agenda is just one example of that. The failure of Jeremy Bowen to either check out his report that Israel destroyed that hospital in his infamous report and not to caution that this information came from Hamas sources is another.
I used to admire the BBC a couple of decades ago, but I take everything with a pinch of salt now. It has lost its raison d’ętre.

Well done on confirmation of these researchers findings…

The BBC is very widely used across the political spectrum. It is the most popular source of news among both Conservative and Labour voters, and among both Leave and Remain voters. Similarly, the UK’s independent communications regulator Ofcom has found that large majorities of audiences in the UK value public service media providers like the BBC very highly for providing trustworthy news programmes that help people understand what is going on in the world.
Though the BBC is slightly less trusted by people who identify with the political right than by people in the centre and on the left, it is still as trusted on the right as major conservative newspapers.
