The state appoints the editorial board. What do you mean they don’t have control?
There is no “editorial board.” The Chair and the four non-executive “nation members" (for England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) of the actual board of directors is appointed via a public process following the Governance Code for Public Appointments. The rest of the members are chosen by the Board itself.
Did you actually think that the state just picks whomever they want, so that they can dictate the editorial positions of the BBC? Shit, man! No wonder you hate the BBC! I’m so happy I could relieve you of this misapprehension, I’m sure you feel tremendously better. I am sure having facts will change your outlook, like a rational person.
