What is wrong with the BBC?

They have a long, long history of getting things wrong in the race to be first.  I have personally been on the ground at four events covered by the BBC and what was reported did not match what I saw and heard.

To be fair, I haven't read or heard BBC news in a little more than 15 years.  They may have gotten better.

For what is going on internationally I'm using BBC and CNN. Some local press for what is happening in my country and sometimes VICE( I don't know how it is over there but here they are addressing some issues that no press agency is addressing).

Sydney Morning Herald, BBC periodically, NZ Herald.

Stuff NZ very occasionally.

ABC National Radio.
I drive around in cars a lot, so I just do the news then.

ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, UPI/AP, NEJM, Lancet, Pornhub, ..................

I'm sure there are others.

What media do you consider to be "fair and balanced" and how often do you use it?


Mine

NPR, the BBC and The Wall Street Journal.

NPR and BBC - daily.

WSJ - occasionally.

All three get a 6 out of 10 on the F&B scale.

That's a pretty good list for straight news. It's tough to find many places that actually try anymore. Cable and national broadcast networks are a lost cause. USA Today tends to report the daily goings on without too much bias, though without the depth you might find in something like the WSJ.
