While I can't take FOX more seriously as a news outlet than most others - at least not on their own claim as anything 
resembling "fair and balanced" (Fiercely Biased, perhaps), I agree entirely on the Beeb.  

Best.  News. Evah.

It bugs me 'cause I don't like state-run media in the least, but the Beeb really does put out a great stream of 
journalism and information.

I like what I see of Al-Jazeera, which so far has been very little.  At first just the name made me flinch but I've 
caught a couple bits from them and while I reserve judgement they strike me as a scrappy organization at least trying 
to report things as they see them.  Better than the big three 
US cable clown networks, not that that's saying much.
