It’s fucking baffling to me that NPR and BBC somehow avoid the state-affiliated media tag. Like, we should be putting it on NYT and CNN and shit like that too, but NPR and BBC are literally state sponsored media
Great mental image, a giant katamari-like assemblage of oil-tar, rusty weapons and rotten pustules, with the faces of various natsec ghouls sliding to the surface one by one. It is inexorably slinking towards you, crushing people in its way, haunting moans asking for more funding. :blob-stabby:
I just cannot fathom what criteria besides “Fuck you shut up” they could even be claiming to use where the BBC isn’t state affiliated media. I’ve seen before that their claim is “we don’t put it on orgs that have editorial independence” but BBC is in no way editorially independent from the government, even less so than NPR.
I know that “fuck you shut up” is the real criteria but holy shit it’s so blatant
It is an well-believed lie in the UK that the BBC is editorially independent, because they (and the government) constantly say they are.
Never mind the government ministers that literally sit on the boards that make editorial decisions. Plus the massive restrictions on their editorialism by the law. Plus the way the government can leverage any outcome they want by threatening to withhold their funding.

That tag is only reserved for enemies of the blob.
