What do you think about the BBC?  Is it the most impartial News source in the World?  If you think it isn't please say which one is.

To be honest there isn't much competition for the BBC in the whole 'trying to be unbiased' front in the international news media. Reuters maybe?

The BBC is the least biased IMO (that's not to say that they don't have a bias). I'd like to hear peoples opinions on what they view as 'unbiased' news sources.

The most biased? No. Al Jahzeer gets that title.

Edit: I totatlly read that wrong. Errr uh yeah, my comment still stands but @ the origional question, I would say that the only unbiased show on tv would be something like Frontline, although not really a news cast.

The poll is about the most unbiased, but I don't think Al Jazeera is the most biased.

Do you have the english version of the channel? It's actually not as bad as you might fear.

No, yeah, I do watch it whenever I get the chance but it's only on like once a week here and I usually miss it. I do enjoy seeing other people's perspective of the world.

Yeah, I saw that and edited my post above. I'm assuming Fox is coming to your mind as the most biased...I think they're pretty equal when it comes to that. If you're not thinking Fox, who then just so I can be clear?

My roomate had the biggest crush on Dalgit Dahliwahl or whatever her name is. He thinks she's hiding her ginormous bewbies under her shirt. I think she has flat bewbs. Anyone have a good picture of her in a lowcut shirt or perhaps string bikini?

It's certainly up there; the only other sites I can really think of would be Reuters and perhaps the Associated Press.

If you don't have the channel there, read the Al Jazeera News site.  It isn't as anti-America as you might think.  Most of the media is biased, so it's difficult for me to say this one is the most biased, but I'm sure BBC is the most unbiased.  Fox certainly isn't unbiased, but I couldn't say it's the most biased one.

The reason why many of you think BBC is unbiased is because they are aligned to your extreme liberal and anti-US bias.

I like the way you say Rueters and AP rank high in your esteem and yet fail to link to either of them for your damning of the BBC.  Instead plumping for unheard of websites that are either syndicating the same uncited story or employees the writers of Jewish magazines to criticise them on their refusal to kiss israel's arse.  Again, you're using obviously heavily biased sources to point the finger at the reletively unbiased BBC.  You might as well ask Fidel Castro what he thinks of the Financial Times...

I'm guessing the AP and Rueters links won't come, ahh nevermind I guess we'll have to put up with www.imsopatrioticihavetheflagtatooedonmypenis.com next....

about un-political issues i would call it unbiased simply because it has nothing to gain from bias
politically however i tend not to trust it unless its simple fact such as "politician A did this"

You are hilarious.  Now you are calling BBC extreme liberal and anti-US bias?  I don't think BBC is unbiased, I'm sure of it.  Am I anti-American if I call the BBC unbiased?

This is the proof that the BBC is the most unbiased News source ever.  You posted the link to it and it says:

The BBC fails to always give a "full and fair account" of the Israeli Palestinian conflict but is not deliberately biased, a report has said.

They recognize they failed to always give a "full and fair account" of the Israeli Palestinian conflict but is not deliberately biased.  If this isn't fair and balanced nothing is.

how is the BBC anti-US?
The BBC are liberal though hardly extreme liberal and thats generally because the government that pays them is also liberal
most bias in the BBC will probably have a little blog or guestbook somewhere with something like "what do you think?" or "do you agree?" near it

Just thought I'd throw this in.  I can't imagine Fox opening posting criticism about its bias on it's website so surely that says something about balance...

Any or all talk radio is biased, if you consider that a news source.
