And if you're really curious, you can listen to live BBC speech radio round the clock:
They're free. They're ad-free. They're what NPR would like to be. And they're the best you'll get anywhere.

* Note: BBC Radio 4 follows the World Service from between 0100 and 0600 UK local time.
 
They also do a lot of cool documentaries.

Not the best though. Al-Jazeera and the Guardian are my personal faves.
 
I'd like to throw in alongside the above posters my love for BBC, definitely the best newscast out there. Back when I actually cared about current events I used to watch BBC World News every day. Watching them cover Baseball and Football was also very lulzy.

The shame for me is the censorship that comes up in the USA cuts of the BBCA shows (Skins, Top Gear, etc.) which don't get censored over in Britain. I'd really like to see the US implement a television censorship policy akin to that which is used in Britain (assuming I have it right), which is to say, censorship on nudity, language, etc. during the day, and then a lifting of all restrictions after a certain hour.

The US does something kinda sorta similar (certain channels have no restrictions, such as HBO, and other channels have more lenient restrictions, that become even more lenient at the really early hours of the morning, such as Comedy Central, but then some channels are just generally strict for the whole day)

It's called a Watershed. In the UK the watershed cuts in at 9pm (until 5:30am).
I gather in the US there's the notion of Safe Harbor, though I don't think it has the same extent.

I agree, it is amazing at how well they flat out ignore rhetoric. I was watching them over the summer when the whole govt funds for teachers was going on and the BBC summed it up as "Democrats believe the govt should intervene to save jobs and help the economy while Republicans believe that govt intervention would harm the economy through excessive spending and (something else I can't recall right now)."
That said, there secret mission statement is to make all Americans look like hicks.

Because I didn't vote in the poll before now. My result is in post #48 in this very thread, which resulted in me getting some ham-fisted mockery and being recommended reading some books the quiz makers clearly hadn't read themselves.

Journalists should report the news, not comment on the news. The BBC is so awesome, Rupert Murdock hates it. :D
 
A quiz with the results "Freedom Lover"? :lol: At least try for the veneer of objectivity.

It's a media company in the UK, but it has government funding.

I'm surprised you haven't heard of it. It gets linked here all the time. =/

It doesn't technically have government funding. It's funding comes from a tax levied on all households with a connected television. While some of that tax is paid by the government (i.e. pensioners licence fees) and all of it is administered by government, until recently (i.e. until that ultra-right-winger Blair got his claws into Auntie) it was completely independant of government.
 
Oh yes I saw one of the options "smaller government centrist". So this is clearly a poll that thinks everything to the left of the Chicago School is basically Communism.
