So here is the contradiction. It appears that so many Americans dislike government but some do seem to like the BBC and I would think that it seems to be the objectivity that is appreciated?

They're not against big government, they're against taxes and big government
in the US. They are more than happy to freeload off of someone else. I listen to BBC World News and NPR because of the variety of world news they report, not necessarily because of their objectivity. US news outlets report on one or two big events a day and run their story over and over.
