It isn’t. It’s a public service. If it was state run, they’d do nothing but suck off the government and never say a single thing against their goals. Which obviously isn’t what happens. But some people see “left leaning” and lose their minds apparently, so they’d like to scrap a public service and get us further and further away from free media. Because they are either corrupt and into a fascist type government and want it, or they are ####ing useless morons.

65-70% of its funding apparently comes from the government.
You want to argue that’s not state run? Strip that funding and can it operate? I think it’s totally fair to question a) the government and b) a broadcaster whose majority funding comes from the government.
I’m not sure exactly what you mean by state run but it’s about as close as you can get no?
