While I can't take FOX more seriously as a news outlet than most others - at
least not on their own claim as anything resembling "fair and balanced"
(Fiercely Biased, perhaps), I agree entirely on the Beeb.
Best. News. Evah.
It bugs me 'cause I don't like state-run media in the least, but the Beeb
really does put out a great stream of journalism and information.
I like what I see of Al-Jazeera, which so far has been very little. At first
just the name made me flinch but I've caught a couple bits from them and while
I reserve judgement they strike me as a scrappy organization at least trying to
report things as they see them. Better than the big three
US cable clown networks, not that that's saying much.
