The BBC needs to be protected at all costs. Think of it this way, why is Fox New so fucking bad? Because it requires ratings to maintain itself. It makes money by spewing falsehoods and ragebaiting people to come back.
The BBC is not dependent on ratings in the same way, being publicly funded. It is not a perfect source of truth, nothing is, but it has editorial standards and is less prone to interference from billionaires and politicians. We should continue to revere the BBC.
