However, compared to the US, which has little regulation in terms of commercial and public service broadcasting, the lack of impartiality (under the façade of freedom of speech) has led many broadcasters to be able to use the medium as a very persuasive form of propaganda, exactly what was assumed that would happen under the control of an independent regulatory body or under a public service broadcaster like the BBC, regulated principally by the government. This, coupled with mistrust in moral advocates (UK) or in governmental figures (US) means that the two countries, no matter how close they become will continue to be diverse. However, in both cases, ‘regulation is being outpaced by technological and commercial developments' (Underwood).
