    Type: Statutory corporation with a royal charter

    A statutory corporation is a government entity created as a statutory body by statute.

    It doesn’t matter what language you try to couch it in, “state funded”, “editorial independence”, whatever. It was founded by the state, is funded by the state, and is a government entity. If it quacks like a duck.

    and reliable reporting as you can get outside the BBC

    “Russian state owned media bad. British state owned media good.”

    I guess you’re just assuming it’s bad based on its name

    No, we know it’s bad because it’s literally run by the US government.
