I'm aware of the reports, and opinion/editorial segments on the BBC are certainly biased. However, their news coverage is still some of the most factual and unbiased I can find on television.

Furthermore, if you read the statements in their admission of bias, it's all about cultural bias. They're often young, frequently gay urbanites, and have a degree of bias, as such. However, the admission alone makes them somewhat less suspect in my approximation, vs American 24 hour networks (again, all of them) who deny bias or try to "balance" bias with other bias.

You're just trolling, so I doubt you'll look...

News Hounds: We watch FOX so you don't have to.

They're both gasbags, but at least Olbermann admits it.

What's with the personal attack? They are fanatics:
Quote:
–noun 1. a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as in religion or politics.
That's not an insult, it's a description of someone. When someone places more importance on religion than education and rational thought, how can they not be a fanatic?

Plus, Olbermann is intentionally humorous. O'Reilly is outrageously funny when he has one of his semiregular emotional meltdowns in front of the cameras.

Provide examples? If you don't already know, then what good would if be for anyone to provide examples?

Somewhere back when Bush was running for his first time, some imbeciles at Fox decided that the station would from that point on be a neocon station, with biased presentation overwhelmingly for the right. Fox supported the village idiot...enough said.
