The BBC does some good stuff, it does a lot of shit but most of it's okay. They over pay some of the most popular people, it appears that British people really like arrogant jerks like Johnathon Ross and Jeremy Clarkson.
All the money spend on those dicks could have been used making another firefly series.
The news because it's affiliated with the government must provide a balanced position. Even if that means attempting to justify things which are frankly unjustifiable.

Makes some really good shows. News wise I don't really use the Beeb but they are one of the better TV news sources out there IMO...and they have Jeremy Paxman, always a win.
I get all the news that matters to me from the good 'ol Escapist!
...lol. But seriously, I could usually care less what the world's up to. Another fatcat played fast and loose with investor dollars? What else is new. More Republicans and Democrats fighting over how patriotic the color choice of Obama's socks is? Again, who cares?
I watch the Daily Show and the accompanying Report for laughs, and the rest of my news I get from trolling the web, like a responsible angsty, ideological college student.

Its actually one of the better Networks over here in the YouKay, its pretty reliable and pretty damn classy.
On the first of January, Time will End.
It also does this, which I love it endlessly for.Levitas1234 said:

It used to be where I watched My Family and My Hero.
Then it was where I Watched old onty Python Episodes.
Don't really use it now. I still like it though.

I very much consider them trustworthy, they are pretty much world renowned for providing a (pretty much) unbiased report of events.
Then perhaps you've never seen ITV news then, it's garbage. It's basically the British equivalent of Fox News.Plinglebob said:
I think about The BBC being very reliable and it being all about the quality. And if it weren't for The BBC; there wouldn't be Monty Python, just the way it is at least. That's one of the main reasons I think so highly about it. They also make some great documentaries.
As a Finn, I mostly use news sources (about current situations) that are in my native language.

It is FUCKING TERRIBLE. Really. Sensationalist crap mostly. Only the other day there was an article about binge drinking over new year, and the news anchor turned to his news crumpet and said "What are the government going to do about it?", like it's any of their business.nick_knack said:
Remember the panic about swine flu? 50000 to die! Screamed the BBC.
i only get my news from the BBC because quite simply i don't have to listen to a bunch of stories about child molesters and other such rifraff to hear stuff what is important... not saying that child molesters and such arent important but seriously...when you cover the same news story 21 broadcasts in a row.... i pretty much just say screw it and move on....
