Yes, of course -- but why can an American not listen to an international news outlet like the BBC? Many Americans do, in fact. As do Canadians, Brits, Frenchmen, Russians, Germans, Indians... The BBC is indeed a British outlet, but its branches are old enough and varied enough to stand on their own internationally.
You ought to check out BBC America some time -- it's quite good.
Before you start throwing the race card around , how about something to back it up?
Helicopters are a race?
Unfortunately, it's not too far of a jump from thinking Stewart and Colbert are "news" to thinking the Onion is actual news.
I should watch BBC more often I guess. The last time I did, ( I forget why) but I got the impression they were leaning left.
probably because tax dollars support them. They are leftwing shills
you cant group NBC and MSNBC into one. NBC is a genuine unbias news outlet while MSNBC has a clear leaning, though they make no effort to make it out as 'fair and balanced' which is respectable, kinda a bunch of dicks though
NBC not biased? I disagree. Besides, total objectivity/inability to be biased is impossible.
it all depends on how you interpret it. in my personal experience with NBC, they report the news, facts. you might have seen something different i dont know.

The programming studied on Fox News offered a somewhat more positive picture of Republicans and more negative one of Democrats compared with other media outlets. Fox News stories about a Republican candidate were most likely to be neutral (47%), with the remainder more positive than negative (32% vs. 21% negative). The bulk of that positive coverage went to Giuliani (44% positive), while McCain still suffered from unflattering coverage (20% positive vs. 35% negative).
When it came to Democratic candidates, the picture was more negative. Again, neutral stories had a slight edge (39%), followed by 37% negative and 24% positive. And, in marked contrast from the rest of the media, coverage of Obama was twice as negative as positive: 32% negative vs. 16% positive and 52% neutral.
But any sense here that the news channel was uniformly positive about Republicans or negative about Democrats is not manifest in the data.
We all know FOX News leans to the right and NBC/MSNBC leans to the left.
So my question is, which of the major US TV media outlets do you consider to be the least biased?
No, Fox News does not "lean to the right" - it is blatant propaganda. And NBC/MSNBC leans toward center-right Democrats.
There are no major US TV media outlets that I would say still practice journalism. There are individuals in some organizations that do, but there are no complete large-scale institutions that are still journalistic: They have been annihilated by corporate consolidation and the internet-driven triumph of quantity over quality.
Ok, I'll give you a little nibble. Got proof that FOX News is propoganda
(and keep in mind I have evidence to prove that MSNBC is propoganda)
And if MSNBC is "center-right" democrat, then I'm Ghengis Khan.
MSNBC didn't want Democrats as its audience at all - they lost the lucrative extreme right to Fox News, and found the only person they had pulling in any numbers was Keith Olbermann. So now they dish out Democratic-flavored entertainment while promulgating center-right memes. Nice to see you again, Great Khan.
According to a Harvard Professor...
