It's the government's job because you cannot rely on commercial interests running what people see - they have to be kept in check by a neutral outside party.

And public broadcasters publish plenty of bad things about government as long as it's in their mandate to do so freely. Look for something bad about Gordon Brown on news.bbc.co.uk.
btw, you do know how biased the BBC is, right?

btw-the bbc is right up there with msnbc in bias...but being as anti-american as the bbc is, you probably view them as being fine since you are as anti-american as they are.

If you're going to do things like that, don't be surprised when people get annoyed.
