Is the BBC corporation still financially supported by British tax dollars, btw?

I'd rather listen to the BBC than US based news services like Fox News, who are nothing more than a jingoistic propaganda channel, or privately owned channels who are obliged to reflect their patron's political and economic opinions.


I think I'd have to agree with that.  During the coverage of the Iraq war I watched BBC News 24, Sky News and also ITN News channels and they all pretty much had the same stories and content.

Yeah, each had a slightly different angle on stuff, but that's representative of a different journalist reporting on something.  On the whole I've never really had much of an issue with the BBC.

If a story is wrong then email them and say so, I've done that a couple of times and they listened and then changed the items.
