No one as such... it is funded by the License fee and governed by the BBC Trust. It is not state owned nor is it a commercial organisation in the sense that it has no advertising or sponsorship. Hence it is completely independent. This is why it is one of the very few completely independent news companies in the world. It works very hard to be independent and impartial . SO much so that not only both the left and right wing political parties in the UK have claimed the BBC works for the other side (in equal amounts of complaints) but the centre party also complains the BBC is anti them too :-))) -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
