was watching BBC America because Top Gear was on, saw a commercial for tonight's World News, and so i decided to watch.
I think i've found a new news station. very unbiased, really does investigate subjects directly, finds the perspective of the story from a view you never thought of, I really do like it.
I probably will never watch FOX News again :aok

Funny, that's how I stumbled upon Top Gear years ago. I was watching the BBC world news (or waiting for it to start, forget which) and then saw my first episode of Top Gear too. I haven't watched Fox News in over 10 years, doesn't sound like they've changed or that I've missed anything since.

I just found this station when I switched to AT&T about 2 months ago, I have to say I watch it quite a bit now, I've started watching Top Gear, Dr.Who, Ramsey's Best Restaurant & Kitchen Nightmares, along with Star Trek TNG reruns, I've actually probably been watching it more then any other station atm. Haven't checked out BBC World News yet.

Top gear is amazing :aok CHEVY FTW :D

The Queen rewards media for objectivity. Here in the states, news used to be the only hours that TV was "allowed" to lose money..... Nowadays, not as much so smoke & mirrors are more important than the actual story.

Yup, Americans may cringe at it, but there are definite advantages to state funded media.

I enjoy watching the BBC. I found Top Gear this past month. Loved it so much, I went out and bought Seasons 10, 11, 12, and 13 on DVD. Much better than the American Top Gear.

fox news seriously has to be the most biased ridiculous stuff around. They should be reclassified as comedy central 2

One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

Everyone should be forced to watch Fox for all of their news and information..
I'm pretty sure thats exactly what Murdoch is aiming for...
You only have to watch a little Jon Stewart just to see how terrible a news organisation it is

:rofl Thanks for making my day. That is just too doggone funny.

Yep, I can't stop laughing :rofl

I don't see this one ending well, based on that troll / incredibly funny 2nd post.
Anyway, yea BBC news has always been my preferred source. I got hooked on it when I lived in New Zealand, and try to catch it when possible. I just wish they would put a slightly longer (more information) loop of news on sometimes...

Ignorance is the worst thing to happen to the US. Individuals who get their news and opinion from a single source are part of the problem. You should watch FOX and MSNBC, read web pages...make your own decisions.
I agree. Although I wouldn't encourage anyone to watch those two networks in particular for information. They simply are not news.

actually, once you've watched it a few times, you will realize that they are in fact very biased. :aok

BBC have faced alot of criticism over the last few years about their coverage of the arab/israeli conflict. the Palestinians say the BBC is completely biased towards Israel, the Isrealis say the BBC is completely biased towards the Palestinians. :lol

I have no clue why I got a rule 14 either. I didn't say anything that has anything to do with rule 14. Oh well, no going to ask.

Geez, get a clue folks. Talking about new stations and how they deal with politics is against rule #14!
Quoting the same is guilt by association.
No more warnings about this. Instant suspensions from now on.

They could at LEAST do some Monty Python and Faulty Towers Marathons.
Oh....and All Creatures Great & Small.
My daughter loves the Dr Who, but that is just too freaky for me. My ancestors were Scott but for the life of Me I can't understand half the people on that show---much less the Scotts.

with everyone getting older and slower I've been thinking about a 3rd wing where the older more concerning gent can still put on his tin hat and GV. Once the well renowned fighter jocks of The Few finally hang up their flying boots this will be a retirement wing of sorts.
Qualifying rules are to have, grandchildren, to be grumpy old gits, moan about the state of the country and how much better it was when they were young. They can always be on hand to run troops and supplies, fly the goon and be seen but not heard!
I shall call it grandad's Army. Zack is pushing hard to be mr Mannering :old:

I watch a lot of BBC America. Doctor Who, Primeval, Being Human, Torchwood, Top Gear, and sundry comedies as they appear.

apples & oranges man
BBC is like the equivalent of China's CCTV and USA's PBS.
The closest you can get to state-run BBC News in the US is to watch PBS and Nightly News from ABC, CBS and NBC.
Cable news on the other hand is like the wild west because they're not held by FCC's strict rules on news reporting.
The best and responsible way to gather news these days is to get news from multiple sources. Don't rely with just single source.
-
Holy skuzzinators batman.
The BBC isn't perfect, but I would definetley put it a few tiers above Fox, CNN, CBS or NBC.

You should have! :x

I'm not a big fan of WATCHING BBC news.
I listen on short wave.
Have since 1973.

I listen to their World Service every night before bed. It's as good as it gets for a news source.

BBC web news is downright excellent.
I've read them for years, scanning their headlines in RSS feed format. Articles are good, pithy, to the point.

USA's PBS
Except for the BBC actually gets funded.

I had no idea that was a show from the BBC, I just started watching BBC America about 2 months ago but I've never seen it on there, I did watch the Syfy version of it which just premiered this month.

BBC is win. Al Jazeera focuses a lot on the Middle East/Africa (duh), but they've got a lot of largely unbiased and interesting programs on too, they don't really deserve their bad reputation IMO. Some of CNN's shows are pretty good (e.g. Richard Quest), even if their 'Headline News' is more like 'Anything but Headline News'. Fox still needs to learn that when somebody finds an unattended package that isn't a bomb, nobody cares.
So yeah. News according to Yossarian, in a nutshell. Also, I like the IHT website.

Al Jazeera
This is another station that I wish I had. Everything I hear about it is very good.

You should check out their website if you haven't already. One or two of the opinion pieces I've read there have been a bit whacked, but overall it's good stuff.

That's what an opinion piece is, ya numpty. :neener:
