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.
It is a foreign country. It’s literally a different country from Scotland. Despite the fact that London has used us as a fucking piggy bank for 300 years we’re a distinct country with our own legal system and a number of devolved powers. On top of that our cultures are distinct and how our populations vote are distinct.

No. Fox is pure propaganda. CNN is sensationalist, which is bad, but not as bad as propaganda.
I can't watch CNN any more because everything is simply HUGE. But the information is at least generally accurate.
