Best way of describing Fox in relation to other American news outlets I've heard. I'd like to think that the BBC is impartial...but I've seen bias creeping in here and there, it's not as bad as ITV or Sky...but it's slipping.
Pretty soon the only way to get the news first hand without any editorial bias creeping in will be to be there yourself. If it's not already like that already. :nope:

There seems to be a tendency to promote an opposition amongst the big medias. They seem to want to cater to the beliefs of their viewers, rather than reporting it in a objective a neutral way.

Both are guilty and are only shilling for their breadmaker of choice (advertising revenue, and political exclusives)
