BBC

The BBC is a British public broadcaster funded mainly by a mandatory annual TV licence fee paid by UK households, with no private owner. Third-party media analysts generally rate it centrist with a mild center-left tilt, though it draws accusations of bias from both left and right in the UK. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term has leaned critical, a posture that contributed to a major internal crisis in late 2025 when both the Director-General and head of news resigned over a misleadingly edited clip of Trump's January 6, 2021 speech.
