UK government plan to sell TV's Channel 4 draws criticism

Channel 4 is indeed crème de la crème not only in UK but in English speaking world as well. They shouldn't do this to Bbc.

Corrigendum

So sorry, certainly Channel 4 is separate from Bbc from a legal perspective. Yet, that's also a British public broadcaster that works more or less with the same principles. In my understanding, they do represent the same spirit of free press of a model European democracy. Thanks a lot.
