News Team

Okey dokes, who here just loves news and more specifically, loves finding news?

BBC, al jazeera, russia today, CNN, all favirouted and checked daily Also starting media next week so possibly a future in journalism.

Excellent! Anybody else also interested, Shem?

Yes i am most surprised shem has not posted, maybe he has not been on line yet.

I had a tech issue on my end.

YARP, I love the news! . However, I tend to get a bit scathing of biased sorces (eg. Daily Mail, Fox) so don't go quoting that shizz.

Well i would never quote from fox or any other red top newspaper, then again even most of the broadsheets are rather biased since most of them are still own by news international

One word. BBC. Easily the least biased news source I've seen, despite being owned..ish... by a government.

The BBC is set up by a royal charter from the queen which is renewed every ten years. The BBC is really owned by the public since all of it's funding comes from TV lisceneing, and it is illegal to own a TV, radio or watch online TV without paying for the license. So the BBC has nothing to gain by increasing it's ratings via biasism unlike fox they could just report on the side which most appeals to the consumer they get more ratings and therefore more revenue, unlike the BBC.

TL:DR the BBC get paid either way so they have no need to be biased.

There is good stuff in that alone for debates and the like, that's at least one good thing about biased news, everyone's definitely gonna have an opinion!

Well this is excellent, again, like the PHP thing, more details will be given in about a week's time (paypal is so damned slow, I hate it already)
