I'm amazed that anyone can suggest the American news is biased towards
Liberals.

Around this time last year, me and 8 colleagues of varying nationalities
went to SLC for 2 weeks of training.  For some of the group it was the first
time they had experienced America.  We were all amazed at how nationalistic
and biased the news was when reporting international events.  Agreed the
target Audience is mainly interested in the American viewpoint on things,
but the complete lack of international perspective was unbelievable.

I'm sure you will say I am biased, but even the American in the group had to
agree.

I guess we are lucky in Europe that a lot of the news broadcast comes from
different sources and countries within and outside the continent, so maybe
it's less likely to have any kind of agenda.

It was not an opinion, it was a report.  That's the difference between
ABC News, where they give you their opinions of the news and Fox News,
where they report the news.  Do you now understand the difference?

You see, I don't care what ABC News thinks about the news and I don't
care what Fox News thinks about the news, I just want the story.  The
facts.

ABC, The NYT, CBS, NBC, PMSNBC, CNN and many newspapers simply can't
give you the news without their "impressions."

 An "informed opinion" from Fox News? You can't be serious.
