The legacy media continues to bleed out because people are turning away
from them and their lies.

It's about time. They should have refused to pay it a century ago when Parliament first imposed it for the benefit of a private company.

This has nothing to do with nonneutral news reporting but heavy-handed tactics collecting the fee, especially from people not subject to it.

The BBC is not a private company. It is not government owed either.
The BBC is actually a not-for-profit public service broadcaster that is owned by the British public. The BBC gets its money from the license
fee, various grants and donations, and by licensing TV shows to overseas networks. In some cases, such as Doctor Who, they also get money via partnership deals with other networks.
