Is the objection to the *Poll Tax* Licence Fee due solely because of the pro-EU bias; or a point of principle?

I ask because I don't object to the principle of the Public paying for the BBC as they do currently. I object to the BBC's lack of Accountability to those who pay for it.

Politically and Editorially, the BBC reflects the point of view of the political class and elite.
The answer appears to be to either force the BBC to become Accountable or scrap the Licence Fee; and/or change the political class.

My preference is the latter; with BBC Accountability following as a corollary.

As far as I am aware, ITV/ITN reflects the point of view of the political class as much as the BBC.
How do we make ITV/ITN reflect the viewpoint of the Majority?
How do you make a commercial proposition Accountable (directly rather than indirectly)?

Or will it be simpler to change the political class?
