BBC News

[Tommy Winchester]

Has anyone else noticed they are interviewing more and more people who should have been weeded out by evolution before now?

[mybrainhurts]

Don't watch it...too biased.

Ch514 - Al Jazeera. Likely to be less biased than the BBC.

rt.com (Oh, the irony)

Or let google give you a randomized selection of bias.


ETA- If you want TV news, Channel 4's evening news is consistently rated far higher than BBC (very low) or ITN (average) over at www.tvguide.co.uk

ITN is more balanced IMO than the BBC, but for general News I do watch Sky, but the Internet is more important now for news that really interests me, and analysis.

CNN.

Anyone who saw Sky's glorification of the Geordie nutter with a gun a couple of weeks back and still watches it should follow his example and remove themselves from the gene pool imo.

Fox news, no idea what they say as I have the sound down but the presenters are dreamy

Always reminds me of the "Holy cow!" comments made by sensationalist reporters during the first Gulf war and stopped watching it ever since!

SKY news is awful and the presenters are uppity

Cannot believe people would think it is less biased than the BBC.

I saw a Public Broadcasting show today that pointed out the fact that while Toyota was catching hell recently, all media outlets were on the bandwagon, all but the Fox News business team (Neil cavuto, Ben Stein, etc.). They were offering caution about blaming it all on Toyota and not laying some blame on the drivers. As it turned out, Toyota made many mistakes (a new Lexus recall is reportedly upcoming), however, drivers were found to be at fault in various cases. Fox was the balanced network. I am not sure if the U.K. gets all aspects of Fox or just the editorial/opinionated segments.

It is a 24 hour a day channel here so I suppose it is live, is it not owned by Murdoch/sky?

One thing that strikes me is the lack of international news on it, international to them is the Mexican border.

[GavinPearson]

Fox News is owned by Murdoch, personally I think it is a great deal fairer than the other major US news channels such as CNN and MSNBC.

Regarding the comment about it being primarily US based, yes that is true, however, they cater to an audience who wants to know about things that interest them, not things that don't. They do a pretty good job all things considered.

Follow the genral rule

If its on the telly it's aimed at morons

[Jasandjules]

As above, I don't bother with the BBC bias s***e.

I just hope that someone soon fixes that.

Anybody noticed how much airtime is being given to the losers of the election by the Beeb? Fatty 2 Jags, Gaylord Mandelscum, noBalls and all those other very shady characters, whereas the ruling coalition get nothing but cheap snide comments and unconfirmed rubbish reports from obviously very far left leaning PC reporters....

[chris watton]

Andrew Marr - true to form, just had a leftie 'comedian' on, and the news he ranted on about was the fact that the (Evil) coalition have decided not to invest in something called 'The Green investment Bank' - stating very smarmily "...of course, the planet and environment isn't really important to these people..." (or something like that.

Hateful, hateful programme
