What is the best news network in the states?

The BBC. :D

British Broadcasting Corporation? In the 'states?

We have it on cable and radio, not to mention the internet. Tends to be a bit more objective since it often doesn't have a dog in the hunt here.

I've given up on the domestic brands. They all seem to have an axe to grind. And CNN has gone SyFy if not Bye-bye on this issue.

I'm afraid that "news" in the States has devolved into opinion reporting and talking heads telling us what to think. With the occasional dash of "Boise, Idaho couple boasts worlds fattest cat" or "kindergartener suspended for pointing finger at inanimate object" etc

With that said, it's best to source your news from a number of agencies, but even that practice is risky... Apparently the same guy writes for all the agencies.

I like my news objective, not following someones biased ideas of what should be news. I will start following BBC.

BBC also has its flaws of course, but IMO it's worth reading. Still my favourite news source.

I still try to read multiple sources, but lately they've been shrinking for me. Besides what's been mentioned about CNN here, I've also lost a couple of Russian news sources after Putin's goons took them over recently :(

BTW, BBC has this article: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26609687

At least a nice overview of all the things that have been floating around about this flight!

The BBC does that stuff too (I would hardly call it objective), you just may not be aware of it so much if you are not from the UK.

I use to like the news show that PBS had back in the day. Now though I prefer to get my news by proxy, as it is shorter, and I can filter it for bias based on the source quite easily.

How shameful! :stare: The parents should have taught that child to be more respectful to inanimate objects. Why back in my day if we pointed at anything Pop would break a switch off the willow tree and give us each ten lashings. Then we had to scrub the floors with TOOTHBRUSHES and scouring powder. And then we had to go to bed hungry. And then we'd wake up in the morning, feed the cows, and walk THIRTY MILES barefoot through the snow, with an complete unabridged English dictionary under each arm (and another on our head to teach us poise and balance under duress. If the dictionary fell off our head we'd get ten lashings when we got to school, and ten more when we got home. And then we'd go to bed hungry). :O:

and the 30 mile walk to school was all uphill, both ways.:haha:

Is SkyNews available in the US?

I tend to hop between that and the BBC when watching tv at home.

The best news agency in America...
 

... is Comedy Central. :haha:

Followed closely by Al Jazeera.

You are talking about news and it is...well a little detour from the thread, so I will continue this detour

Some month ago I heard on Danish radio that 2/3 of American doesn't trust the news from the mainstream media.

When I heard this, my first thought was...subsim...yubba and many other friends here

You are right! I DO NOT trust the Canadian news at all. The papers are even worse. They all seem to have their own agenda and paint the stories with whatever brush is the most dramatical and usually farthest from the truth.

Just heard on the radio that the aircraft was heading south along the arc published by Malaya.
