Real_Trouble -> RE: Ever Seen A Conservative News Anchor? (10/26/2008 3:01:36 PM)

Please note I'm referencing the BBC commentary on American politics, not the BBC commentary on British politics.
I actually think the BBC is quite biased when it comes to England, but that might be because they are locals and can't pull back far enough; their coverage regarding the US is much more clearheaded. They lean towards liberals currently because, from an objective basis, facts lean towards liberals currently, but I seem to recall in the past that they've had some complimentary things to say about conservatives as well. I recall a few articles that were quite favorable with regard to the elder Bush, for example.
Point is, they tend to research more and put their foot in their mouth less regarding American politics. Same trend for the Economist; much less biased American coverage than British coverage. Certainly better than anything American. I mean, could you seriously argue Fox News is less biased? NBC? CNN? I'd take the BBC over all of them.
Edit - as an aside, pulling up a few internet links doesn't impress me in a systematic way; in 20 seconds, I could find links claiming the Earth is 6,000 years old, that Jews caused 9/11, that black people are from another planet, and that cats are actually controlling our minds. There's shit all over the place on the internet. If you want to do a systematic deconstruction of each news source, claims of bias, research, and then presentation, I'll be impressed. But if you're just going to Google shit, remember the old adage: Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Often, you really are Googling shit.
