I was going for major or well known ones. which is why I didn't add any non-American ones besides BBC. Because I don't know them.

But CBC and CTV are just as big as CNN or Fox

I went for the BBC because they seem to give pretty much everybody a rough ride and also because their reports on issues I know and care about piss me off for what I perceive as right wing bias, I just wouldn’t trust a news provider that I agreed with. I’m also a Brit of course so they are of much more relevance to me than the rest.

I think Reuters deserve a mention in the poll they are pretty good and very big.

AreYahoo even a news service? All they seem to do is link everything of theirs that I click on seems to be by Reuters anyway.

Also who the hell voted for Fox as unbiased? They give bias a bad name.

If you want unbiased, you're not going to get it in one place. Every news source puts a slant on things, and by reading several different slants you can get the least bias. Google for me, thanks.

Okay, who said Fox?!

I remember hearing a guy on talk radio saying that of all the news outlets in the world, FOX News was the best because it's "fair and balanced", as per their slogan.

You really have to wonder about some people ...

I think they ALL are biased. I doubt it's really possible to be completely objective.

All news sources are biased to some extent. However I consider Al-Jazeera and BBC as the least biased and most objective news sources.

Pablo Sanchez · Post by **Pablo Sanchez** » 2004-06-26 01:32am

I'm more willing to trust the BBC than any other news service.

Joe · Post by **Joe** » 2004-06-26 01:40am

On this list, probably the BBC. I really like Reuters the best, though, even though I find it to be a bit biased at times.

Post by **Gandalf** » 2004-06-26 01:43am

I mostly just get my news here.

But I usually go to reuters.com or Pravda for news readings.

Sarevok · Post by **Sarevok** » 2004-06-26 01:48am

Pravda ? Hehe.

I read the BBC online daily. I trust it more than the others, although that doesn't mean that I trust it blindly.

Don't think any of the listed news sources is all that unbiased. Then again, people are biased by nature (think over 80 percent of all journalists in the US are registered Democrats), and it is difficult to be completely objective, esspecially when reporting on a story political in nature. For total objectivity, we'd probably have to get robots to report the news. IMO, The Wall Street Journal is probably the most unbiased news source I've seen. Nothing in broadcast media strikes me as unbiased.

But a good proportion of editors are more conservative. It balances.

When it comes to hot-button issues for the wealthy, the WSJ is more than willing to push the bias right up to the redline.

Shit. I should've listed NPR, Reuters, and AP. I'm sorryyyyy.
