Although, IIRC, the original director general in his diary wrote "the government know they can trust us not to be truly impartial." You never get Anarchists or Communists on discussion shows.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

hey maybe they did. any anarchist & communist with a brain understands that the majority of people will have a knee jerk reaction and shut down if you utter the various trigger phrases (such as "anarchism/communism has some good points"). so they'd probably water down their beliefs for easier digestion

but if you mean an outspoken anarchist who gets invited to talk about anarchism then yeah you're right, this isn't happening unless for a joke or to make them a scapegoat
