Lord Reith's BBC was a landmark in broadcasting history. =A0At one

Not always!

So what is the alternative - and is it fair and balanced?

A free market in broadcasting, much as we have with newspapers..

You've not heard of satellite and cable then?

Which are great. But, the BBC has a license to utilize the public

accepting the license fee.

Your evidence that they are not unbiased is?
