let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

SKY wrote the closing them for SKY TV ("Night Sky"), but I have no clue where that network is aired (best guess is UK or AUS...). (that was totally unrelated I know)
I watch some of many networks (MSNBC, CNN, etc...) and then local news occasionally (usually on NBC).

I find myself watching BBC news & CNN often. When its a controversial subject I usually read diffrent sources and try to peice it together.
I cant stand the "selling" of news, so I try not to watch much news on TV.

Trust no one...especially not the popular press!  And did you know the US just made a huge investement (we're talking millions of dollars here I think) towards media relations in Iraq? (CNN ring a bell, anyone?) Man, if they had CNN at the time of Vietnam, the war might have lasted longer! Keep a tight control on the flow of information, and you can keep anyone happy...

The BBC and my country's CBC (TV, radio, web) are the ones I trust most -- though any reporting arguably has a least some type or degree of 'bias."

If you ever watched a BBC/European news network, then you'll understand how much a joke American news channels are. Even CNN sucks compared to the BBC.

Honestly, I haven't found CNN to be too much trouble. I check BBC every now and then, but I don't pay attention to commentary/debate on any network/site. I just go for the news of the day, and don't pay attention to the subtle details which may indicate the authro is subversively liberal/conservatively biased. It doesn't matter to me.

Why does everyone love the BBC so much?  Even though I do watch BBC News on television, I actually find their radio coverage a lot better. However, Channel 4 News is the best in my opinion, in terms of television news. As for newspapers, I really don't read enough of them, but I do think The Guardian are generally the least biased of the lot, so I'd most likely read that. I've visited their website a few times as well and it's normally pretty thorough. I don't really trust the BBC Television News coverage all that much though.

I don't trust any news agency.
I always like CNN for it's an obvious propaganda tool for the US, always fun to see the wheater reports, they are ussualy about the weather in places the next day something happens

BBC News is probably the least biased of the major news networks but I also hold CNN in high regard as well. I watch these two particularly for important international events. Otherwise it is the local news channels which I watch on a daily basis.
