> It's not perfect, but it's not Pravda and describing it as such is quite ridiculous

Of course if you agree with the BBC editorial line, you'll find nothing wrong with the BBC. Just like Fox News audience don't see any problems with Fox News bias. What is ridiculous is thinking that only Murdoch controlled media lies.

I certainly don't always agree with the "BBC editorial line" - it has moved the needle against a few things that I've supported. However it is farcical to compare it to Pravda or even FOX, and I think you're showing how little exposure you've had to the BBC by doing so.

> thinking that only Murdoch controlled media lies.

I mentioned the various Murdoch properties because they're the most egregious and shameless. There's bias everywhere, and I never said there wasn't

I think you are certainly showing how little critical thinking you do when it comes to judging the BBC reporting quality if you keep defending it as somehow "superior" to rags and tabloids.

And I think you're a reactionary fool if you lump BBC News with Pravda and FOX
