I sometimes hear BBC on the radio. I usually do check into BBC on internet. They are from a socialist country, and do reflect that in most of the articles. Karen, Margaret Thatcher would love you for that comment. ;-) I gather you think that Blair's version of the Labor Party is a socialist party and that the institutional structure Thatcher left behind is socialist. Which, even were it true, would certainly not impugn the credibility of their radio or TV. That's a little like saying one should only pay attention to media from countries that have economic or political systems with which you agree. I agree that CNN does not mention bias but it's hardly a secret that that Fox does not use the "fair and balanced" nonsense with irony, no cute little smiles to the knowing, at least not on air. They actually mean it. You may have missed the rather lengthy exchange Nadine and I had early in the life of the thread on my charge that CNN was right of middle. She, as you might expect, did not agree. It is a proposition I would still defend but Ken has grown tired of the CNN, NYTimes, Fox, etc. stuff, so a long debate about it would, most likely, not work.
