Wow, if only there was an organization whose purpose was to inform the public about the current state of the world, maybe they could do something about it
Both have a profit motive, one simply earns actual capital that it’s owners (Murdoch etc.) exchange for political capital (favourable laws) and the other earns political capital (position promises, coverage opportunities, connections with assorted tory wankers), to exchange for actual capital (bonuses, cushy jobs).
Every system is corrupt.
In so far as beeb vs the sun hey are practically indistinguishable in terms of actual levels of bigotry, the actual tone is the only thing that sets it apart, but in terms of harm the Beeb takes the cake for me for being so transphobic one of their articles has a whole-ass Wikipedia page about it.
Then you have the frankly bizarre amount of sucking up to Rowling, Farage, et al. they do and now the coverage of the war in Gaza too.
The Sun is arguably more harmless because nobody really thinks it’s unbiased truth. But many people do see the Beeb that way and it hasn’t been so since the BoJo years at least when the new head got appointed, it’s just polite fox news now.
Corporate media, including “left leaning” and “progressive” outlets, routinely misleads people, especially around the listed issues of crime, public benefits, and immigration. Check out https://fair.org/ for tons of examples.

The BBC is a propaganda outlet meant to keep British society in line and and in check so the aristocracy can maintain their power.
the Sun does the same thing but also with a profit motive

LOL
Wanna let me in on the joke?
The BBC isn’t a propaganda platform?
If people would actually READ articles instead of just looking at the headline and pictures.
And if people would believe articles that do not reflect their view, then and only then, they could do that job
