You should watch BBC News then as it isn't financed by anyone other than the tax payers.

I love this ideal that people have of the internet though, you say you can view many different news sources and come to your own conclusions, however where does that information come from in the first place? The initial story? 99.9% of the time every story on the internet originates from the same piece of information that has been traded, most of the traded information that forms news stories goes through either Bloomberg or Reuters. Just look at an info bar for Sky News and you will see one or the other as the source for all their breaking news.

If you want to be really unbiased and informed there is only one plaec where you should look then, and that is the information traders.

Although as you will no doubt point out that the information traders are also run by conservative right wing people, and therefore the cycle starts again, although this time you will notice that no where is it possible for you to get information about the big stories without touching one of these organisations.

The other major factor as to why you will always have these right wing neo-conservative people in charge of the big companies, and therefore in charge of the news, is because the left wing liberal people tend to not embrace the capitalist way of life and therefore shoot themselves in the foot in terms of actually being in a position where they are able to affect their views on the general public...

We don't get BBC news where I live, which is why I look at it on the internet. Then if I'm interested in local news, I'll look at some different sites online and compare and contrast; usually I can get the whole picture then. I'm just tired of turning on the news and seeing what Paris Hilton or Britany Spears did today. I, for one, couldn't care less. I want to know what's actually going on in the country and in the world. For that, I have no choice but to turn to the internet.This way I can choose what I want to learn about, instead of being bombarded by pictures of some stuck up, rich brat crying while she's being taken to jail. As far as learning about what's going on in the rest of the world, I don't have much choice, but to look online and sites from around the world. Even on American "World News", they talk about nonsense that doesn't effect anyone and usually puts their slant on it. I just wand information, not someone's opinion of it. I'll come to my own conclusion, I don't want to have to sit and listen to some moron, who's afraid to do any real reporting because he may get fired. It's ridiculous that if I want to know about a war that my country is responsoble for, I can't even count on newscasters in my country to be honest. I have to turn to other country's to get  the real deal on what's happeneing, because they are not allowed to report about fatatlities and such here. Nor can they show any images of the war, or coffins. They were even saying that deaths by car bombs, didn't count in the fatality rate. Nor did it count if they were killed as a result of friendly fire, or if they were shot in the back of the head, instead of the front. I guess cuz that can be construed as friendly fire, as well. It's insane to me. The statistics and information here is so skewed, that it's impossible to actually learn anything. God forbid, if my mother was a moron and saw the Fox news report on Mass Effect, she would never allow me to let my sister play it, and my sister would lose out on a wonderful experience. It's just insane to me that they waste their time reporting bulls*** when I'm sure that something that was actually importand happened in the world that day.

(BBC has a website, which you could look at )

I'm guessing you are American then, and America has always been very internally focussed in terms of news, they don't look at the outside world because they don't need to look at the outside world. I mean a lot of Americans have never left their state let alone gone abroad. But why would you bother when the country has everything you could ever need there anyway? It has lead to a lack of understanding of the wider world for a lot of every day Americans, either through naivity or ignorance, and this is reflected in the journalism that is put forward by the American news channels. They target the bulk of people, and the bulk of people are generally ignorant (it's the same in every country, not just America, I mean just look at the yobs of the UK ...).

News companies like the BBC look all around the world (we have a lot of ex-pats in a lot of places) so they have a broader view of news. If you just want the information then you need to go to reuters or bloomberg, but even then they have opinions.

You wont find news handed out without someone elses opinions added to it, the best you can hope for is that you find news that has a similar opinion you

but back to the topic at hand, Fox strike me as the Daily Star of American news, and as such they will just make stuff up and hope they get away with it!

   Oh no, please don't go by what Fox has to say. I'm always mad
   at Fox.I mainly watch CBS,  and our channel 11 whatever that is.
   Fox is totally Republican, and they sugar coat every mistake Bush makes.
   I was a Republican all my life until Bush, our little dictator.
  Sorry!
   And that is why I play games so things end up my way!

I freaking hate how the media always takes little things from video games and blows them out propourtion and makes some brutal violence or a little bit of sex into some horrible thing that "we've never seen".

Not that 'brutal violence' becomes any less questionable just because we see it so often...

"Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude.
It’s because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them."

Personally I feel brutal violence is unacceptable, but extreme violence however is acceptable the more you see it ...
