The British Broadcasting Corporation, also known as the BBC, is a British public service media outlet.[1] Considering Britain's role in global capitalism and imperialism, their public broadcast service tends to support imperial wars and demonize the anti-colonial struggles of the periphery.
The BBC tends to, according to conservative commentators, have a "liberal" and "center-left" bias[2], much in the same way that Fox viewers would describe America's public broadcasting service, PBS. Although when it comes to questions of imperial wars and anti-communism, the "liberal media" in the Western world tends to closely align with their corresponding right-wing media outlets.
In 2021, China banned the BBC because the British government banned CGTN.[3]
