al-jazeera

everyone hates them and they have a journalist from every organisation, BBC, FOX, CNN etc

the only thing is they look at everything with a worldly prespective so Vtech wasn't importnant so they covered other events in the world. so doubt you'll see national news much.

Does the US have a news station that isn't just morbid fascination with two or three of the 16000 murders it gets every year?  That's not news.  It's not even a good as murder news since the focus is so narrow on the vast landscape of murder that could be covered.  Some stations need to be renamed Murder Talk Network.

Al-jazeera was founded by Islamic extremists.

"Journalists" who moonlight as terrorists.

News hour with Jim Lehrer.

I think it's the best American News program out there right now.   No flashy computer graphics or background music.

Plus they actually go in depth about candidates platform, instead of CNN who treats it like a soap opera.

You talking about Al-jazeera or FOX?

If there was a Cactus News Network, none of this debate would be necessary.

You know I'm right.  You KNOW it.

Wikinews? I can't say I've ever had a reason to distrust the BBC myself though.

I concur.  BBC is damn good.

If you really want to see EVERY story you can just go to google news.

I like BBC too, but for US news, try PBS Newshour. They tend to be fair imho

Name: Anonymous 2008-04-03 18:04

PBS!?!? PBS?!?
You have got to be delusional!
PBS has always been a bastion of liberalism.

Name: Anonymous 2008-04-03 18:34

Have you watched the Newshour? Its pretty fair and balanced in its reporting.

Yeah, ok, you keep believing that...
By the way, I have some carbon credits you might be interested in purchasing..

You never watched, did you.  It's the least showbizzy news available nationally.  How about Nightly Business Report on PBS, is that "liberal" too?  US politics is assfuckingly retarded.

Oh I see, they have science shows like Nova, I forgot that in the US, science is a "liberal" thing and therefore suspect.

ITV, Reuters is all i look at..

I suggest finding niche sites. They usually have some sort of passion for what they're doing and post like it.

Such as:
Politics -> Crooks and Liars
Games -> Kotaku, Gamasutra

Also, if you like a specific series of games or movies, find a fan site.

Then, put them all together in a RSS reader. I use Google Reader because it's accessible from anywhere.

The BBC has ADMITTED to being biased. That does make them more honest than American news but still shitty.

The BBC suported the Iraq war. Also if the goverment is pissed off at them, they can cut the license or refuse to raise it.

I havent watched one BBC news report that mentions the war in Iraq has killed 750.000.

The government also appoint many of the executive positions in the BBC, including the director.

BBC is state owned media. News hour with jim is bankrolled by chevron even though they are "public". Remember kids, news corporations are still news CORPORATIONS with their #1 aim is to make $$ and not inform you.
