Thanks Marky. I live in the States and his drivel is one and the same with our typical elitist journos. He could trade places. Praise for our leftist ideologue in office and insult, smear and mock the right. In the end, highly opinionated, shallow and superior-minded. No guessing how he'll report.

Hi steevo,
From what I know about the States you have mostly left-wing news organisations? CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC I'm sure you don't need the BBC sticking in their long lefty noses in as well.
Thanks TB,
Exactly

The BBC are not able to do it from a competitive share of our cable TV market but because of your tax dollars You're right, all of those channels and more are left-leaning to almost total partisan. People like to talk about the only contrary TV news, FOX, as biased but it actually gives more time to both points of view than all the others while making no pretense about its own values, unlike the others. I'm glad your here and Teddy set aside a separate category. I think your posting will be one more nail in the coffin putting to rest all doubt.

Yeah well, you can always tell who's a lefty by the amount of time it takes for them to bring up Fox News, saying it's horribly biased as if it's the only American news organisation which is.
Thanks Steevo, I'll do what I can but the worst bias is not what it does say/report it's what it doesn't.
