Fox and CNN are "tabloidy" and biased. I view them as being similar in that way despite their different political leanings.

I do sometimes listen to or watch BBC. I don't think I have ever seen CNBC Europe.

I try to get my news from a number of different sources. I think its good to get different perspectives. Sometimes I deliberately expose myself to viewpoints I know I will disagree with. I listened to some liberal talk radio on Sirius for awhile but more and more it just became endless Bush bashing. One of the radio hosts seemed fairly reasonable and interesting until anything remotely related to Bush came up, than it was just attack, attack, attack. Now I don't listen to as much political talk radio, left or right, as I used to. It is often largely about partisanship and preaching to the choir. I do listen to NPR a lot. Overall they seem to be more from the left, but they do talk to or interview conservatives and even libertarians. The main reason I listen to them more is that your less likely to get simple partisanship than from most other radio commentary. In addition to listening to more NPR I also listen to more sports and music than when I was experimenting with new political talk radio programs.
