There is an attempt to get the BBC more in lockstep with the government. Danny Schechter lays it all out for you:

“BBC contributor John Kampner told me last summer. “In the States, as far as I can ascertain, there is a presumption that politicians are right and honest and truthful. And that is the default from which everything else operates. In Britain in some ways we have seemed to have gone to the other extreme in which we have a default in which everything and anything a politician says must be a lie and they have to prove
to us otherwise.”"
