Here are some of the most recommended comments in that recent Poll I sent a note round about: newsforums.bbc.co.uk… Sad that some people seem to think that Fox News is somehow a credible news source (which, like all others, has not covered 9/11 truth and also fosters a culture of hate as embodied by Richard Hannity et al) 1st 2 comments are the most accurate, in my opinion, as they do not express a political standpoint, but focus more on facts and evidence – which should be the focus of truly impartial media coverage (which the BBC provably is not) Added: Tuesday, 2 May, 2006, 16:39 GMT 17:39 UK I do not trust the BBC, if you want to consider it part of the media industry. I find the BBC is nothing but a political webpage made to look like it is an independent source of information.

Its Eurocentric editorials are inseparably enmeshed in its news reporting, sometimes subtly, sometimes blatantly. Usually most or all of the facts are there but they are deliberately distorted to present BBC management’s political point of view. It has become a journalistic disgrace and an insult to those in decades past whose efforts and impartiality placed on to its pedistal. It has ignored the Hutton Report.

I am sick of liberals pushing their spiteful twisting of facts down everyones’ necks, PC, and think something should be done about it. Maybe we should sue them everytime they lie?
