The BBC is a well respected news organization in England. I think it's still independent. Their news reports are different than what's presented by American media.

On item number one, people were making the same charges when the networks were stand-alone entities. It has been relatively recently that they were acquired by big companies.
Item number two, the BBC is a government owned, run and supported network. They had no competition at all until about thirty years ago. Thankfully, they have generally managed to stay independent from government control.
I say thankfully, because that is seldom the case with government owned networks.
