With Echoes of Trump, Boris, Johnson  Scorns the BBC.

前有特朗普“手撕”媒体，后有鲍里斯约翰逊轻蔑BBC广播电台

The British Broadcasting Corporation has long been one of Britain's most revered institutions. But after an election campaign in which it faced the charges of bias, the media organization finds its future is in the hands of some of its biggest critics.

英国广播电台公司一直以来都是英国最受崇敬的机构之一。但是在这次的竞选活动中被指责存在偏见问题，该媒体机构意识到自己的未来掌握在一大批批评者手中（一些对其最为不满的）。

Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, coming off a resounding victory of his Conservative Party, raised questions during the campaign about BBC's fundamental source of revenue- the license fee charged to all television viewers in the country.

在竞选中大获全胜的英国首相鲍里斯约翰逊在大会中对BBC的主要收入来源-向全国观众收取播放许可费用（电视执照费）的合理性提出质疑。

It has been increasingly evident, however, the friction goes beyond the BBC's business model and extends to its journalism, as the prime minister delivers broadsides- evocative of President Trump's criticism-against the broadcaster.

越来越明显的是，这种摩擦（2者之间不合）的来源（源头）不但涉及（不仅限于）到BBC的商业模式，还延伸到BBC的新闻行业，英国首相对广播公司的猛然抨击不禁让人想到特朗普对广播公司的批评。

Evidence of his antipathy has been reinforced since the election by reports that Boris Johnson has barred cabinet ministers from appearing on an influential BBC radio program.

自大选以来，有报道称鲍里斯约翰逊禁止内阁大臣在BBC富有影响力的广播节目上台，进一步表明他对广播公司的厌恶（反感）。

While the BBC, founded in 1922, has the independent control of its programming, it is subject to government scrutiny of its finances and the terms of its charter. And the conservatives, with their huge majority, will have the political clout to jeopardize the BBC's funding.

成立于1922年的BBC有着对节目的独有控制权，但是也需要接受政府对其财务及宪章的严格审查。而现在保守党占有多数席位，将拥有更多的政治影响力，也会危及到BBC的“财路”。
