State funded is different than state controlled. BBC and CBC both have charters that focus on political and information neutrality and are meant to be backed by an oversight board to prevent any bias in reporting.

That feels like a stretch. They're hosting their own instance. The only accounts on their instance are their own verified ones. There are literally some European governments that have also done this on Mastodon. If you're worried about them over moderating comments sections, that sounds about the same as a comments section on any news website. Other instances can defederated from them. Other people can post a link to their article and have comments go off in an instance where the BBC isn't also the admin/moderator.

Just remember whenever you see inexplicable contradictions in public stances that you're likely dealing with an irregular sentence structuring.
