It's also not the time to be consuming content from companies to be fair

[โ€“] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Fair. I'm just trying to be alert to who controls the media I consume. Too many people in the UK blindly trust BBC and then criticise Russians for listening to what their government tell them

[โ€“] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Any news outlet will have a bias. If nothing else, the broader culture a news organisation operates in will inherently influence their decisions.

I would say BBC is nowhere near the worst, though. Arguing they are Government controlled is just silly. You drawing a comparison to Russian media organisations is a load of tosh.

[โ€“] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You're right. Clearly RT has more direct collusion with its government, I just get uncomfortable with people holding BBC up higher than any media

[โ€“] SleafordMod@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

JohnSmith and NotJohnSmith taking different sides of the argument, lol.

Anyway I like the BBC. I don't blindly trust it, because I read other sources too, like Sky News, The Guardian, and others. But I think the BBC is very good. And I definitely don't think it suffers from the sort of government control that RT does. There's a difference between government-owned and government-controlled.

Thanks, this and TheRealJohnSmith's dialogue is helping me to be a little more open to it

[โ€“] PussButton@lemmy.org 3 points 2 days ago

True, but that's something you'll always have to keep in mind when reading any kind of news.
