Are you serious!!!!!!
have you ever looked at the 'unbiased' BBC reporting!!???
Bigoted nearly to a man (or pregnant woman in the case of the weather reporters...)
OK, name a media organisation that's less biased then.

All media is biased, the difference is whether is in any way rational, whether its conclusions are in any way related to reality.
Nothing that laughingly calls itself journalism in the United States reports on nothing that comes close to ressembling reality, it is a rolling cycle of fluff, misinformation, blatant lies, propaganda and other assorted bollocks.
I'm not saying Old World news sources are perfect, but they are at least some that are worthy of the word 'journalism'.
No joke. WI the current Media was much more professional, non-partisan, and literary conservative. What if they spent more time on actual stories and not the flash in the pans ones so common today? How would politics be affected.
Most of the ships in the Royal Navy refuse to have the BBC piped in. Having been in Kuwait for the last 9 months I listen to the BBC every day and it is totally left wing and biased whenever it has a subject that involves the US. They are having on Friday a full hour show saluting Castro.
Examples please where BBC programmes are actually biased and not just giving air time to the views of people who you don't personally agree with and/or looking under rocks you'd rather they didn't look under.
And I'll put the same question to you: name a major media outlet that is less biased than the BBC.
Finally, the show is 'about' Castro not 'saluting' him. Like it or not he is a major figure and a biographical piece as he nears the end of his life is not remotely unreasonable.
The BBC is way better than CNN, Fox News, CBS, ABC, NBC, and all the other big American stations that broadcast news.
I think you're both right. Yes, the BBC has a strong left-wing bias. But it's still better in some ways than our media, simply because it delivers more news. Reading foreign media online shocks you when you realize how many stories aren't covered by our own media.
Too easy.
Global 'warming'.
From the quotes on 'warming' I take it you are a Global Warming sceptic.
If that is the case then IMO the BBC coverage of Global Warming falls under the heading of "giving air time to the views of people who you don't personally agree with" not bias.
I'm not going to be drawn into a discussion of the merits of Global Warming Science, however, I will say that IMO the BBC does not have a 'position' on Global Warming, it does give more weight (and hence air time) to the the overwhelming consensus of the international scientific community than to the relatively small sceptical minority. If there was no consensus the coverage would alter IMO.
As you are so obviously a member of the AGW religion, you think the BBC's biased reporting, not giving any air time to any data or scientists who disagree with the religion, and deliberately misleading articles (for example a report on Arctic ice this autumn which didnt actually bother to mention the stats were from 2 years previously!) are ok.
The BBC's bias on this subject is deplorable, and just because most of the mainstream media has this same bias doesnt make it acceptable. The job of the media is to question, not blindly follow the herd and the money. Shame so many media people have forgotten this.
The most honest reporting on subjects I find on small internet outlets such as The Register. Main media outlets are pretty much propaganda nowadays, although a few newspaper columnists seem to have forgotten to read the script occasionally.
BTW, have fun shovelling all that global warming off your driveway this winter...![]()
