Will you please look at the alternatives?Balance is qualitative, and compared to everyone else, the BBC _is_ balanced. I for one don't want it muzzled by a government that is already scarily powerful in terms of information control.
Who do you trust, Indole? ITV? Sky!?

I trust no single source.Diversity of information is the only way to get anything like a reasonable view.
However, the BBC is a near-monolithic block of left-wing opinion funded by legally enforced compulsory payments. I would like to see it, and its counterparts like the ABC in Australia, made to become more balanced, or lose their government funding.

Oh yes, agreedA right wing view, or even a balanced one, or even a wibble one, has never been broadcast on any channel of the BBC
