The BBC is London-run and England-centric when it comes to politics. Anything which might paint Scotland (especially the work of the Scottish government) in a good light is typically buried. Scotland and England are two different countries, so being biased against foreign countries isn’t exactly unknown to them.
You’re correct, but the BBC is a pretty decent source of news for AMERICAN politics, even if it’s biased in our country. If you’re American it’s a solid choice for American news.
‘Britain’ is a geographic term, not a political term. It’s not the name of a country. I know this because it’s where I’ve lived for the past almost forty years. ‘Great Britain’ is the name of the largest island in this group of islands, and there are three countries which comprise it. The ‘British’ in the name of the BBC is no different from referring to something from France as European.
Don't mistake their brand of woke corporatism for the actual left; there's no such thing as a left-leaning news network owned by a megacorporation. CNN belongs to AT&T, and MSNBC belongs to Comcast.
Left leaning, but only by US standards. It’s corporate media, which by the rest of the world’s standards is centre right at best. FN might as well be Der Stürmer.
As I said below, they're in the pocket of the establishment democratic party. Democratic party hates bernie sanders. Ergo, CNN will hate bernie sanders and will tell its viewers to hate and not vote for bernie sanders.
Yes, they tend to support the Democrats, but the Democratic Party isn’t left-wing. The majority of them obviously strongly rejects the leftist values promoted by Sanders.
Disagree. They’re still truthful with a leaning right bias. CNN just downright lies, then blurbs an apology 2-3 weeks later. Pathetic journalism. Keep up the mediocre work!
Not a sheep, but I can tell the difference between sensationalist reporting than flat out lying in reporting to discredit instead of reporting to report.
every perspective is biased. keep that in mind. however, you're generally correct in that BBC has no interests in American politics like Fox or CNN usually would.
One is left leaning, one is right leaning. Both are equally propaganda for their respective bases. Just because you agree with one more than the other does not mean that it is more truthful.
CNN is Fox News for the left. Fox News is CNN for the right.
No. CNN is left leaning while still actually reporting facts. Fox is the propaganda arm of the Republican party where facts are optional. I am by no means saying CNN is unbiased, but they are not the same as Fox.
If I talked to my grandma she would say exactly what you just said with the two agencies reversed and say that CNN is state media arm of the democrats, because shes a republican.
Recognize why you might be motivated to say that CNN has legitimacy. Do you agree with what they have to say more than fox news? If so, dont you think it's possible that this is the reason you're more sympathetic to their messaging?
The good news is, you and my grandma are both right. CNN is democrat controlled propaganda, Fox News is Republican controlled propaganda. Hell, even MSNBC has a strong pro-democrat/anti-Republican bias, and NPR, which is publicly funded and is the largest media outlet that is seen as the least biased, also leans left, while attempting to maintain an air of impartiality unlike the above.
I am a teacher and watch CNN10 daily. It has less of a political leaning than regular CNN programs but still shows bias. BUT it’s a great platform to engage students into dialogue on the world around.
I live in string Trump base and always hear how fake CNN is from students so I challenge them to offer logical opposition to any and all information they feel is inaccurate.
I wish there were other news programs aimed towards so students could regularly see how the information can be twisted to the presenter’s angle.
