Yea, your whole royal mandate thing has me confused when it comes to taxation and the BBC as we have no model like that in the States. I'd never thought about it in terms of a checks and balance in regards to the news, but I like that idea that a media outlet somewhat publicly funded being held accountable to the public. Anyway, I certainly hope things don't go the route of BBC not having an internet outlet.
