They are not biased. They cover both sides of the arguments as leave people to make up their own minds. I'm not saying they don't cover a liberal side, but they also cover a more fundamentalist side as well. They cannot be judged on one story (the war in Iraq) as being liberal. |
I know, but it's become clear that they ARE Liberal. |
I am wondering how they are liberal. I listen to the BBC News and Sports radio channel a lot and they have debates about relevant topics at the time. Whenever they are having it they have a speaker in from one side of the debate, and one from the other. Then people can phone in and ask questions etc, as well as the people debating with each other.

Just because they may include the other side in debates does NOT make them "unbiased." NO media outlet is "unbiased" aside from C-SPAN.
CNN and The New York Times, for instance, are FAR LEFT Media outlets.
FOX News is barely biased but is SOMEWHAT to the left.
The LA Times is left-wing biased...
Those are some examples, which C-SPAN just shows you things and hardly gives you the news.

There is always a slight amount of bias to everything. The person who wrote the report, for example, has their own view. The person doing the report has their view, the editors theirs, and so on. Rarely do you get pure truth

I know that, but in the posts before it sounded like there was a huge liberal slant to the news they portrayed. I'll go and put what was going on before in a link now.

Well, I do believe that it's pretty-well biased to the left, so...

Yeah, but that's just your opinion.

Of course, but perhaps it IS true.  If anything it is AT LEAST SLIGHTLY to the left, but clearly not the right.

I will agree though that C-SPAN is the only unbiased channel. Though watching the senate can be incredibly tedious.
