Who do you trust most for news?
According to a recent cross-country poll of 10,000 people, most trust national tv.
The Reuters headline was Fox, BBC and Al Jazeera most trusted Dang! I thought lies, lies and more lies.
But there's good news in there - only 11% of Americans really trusted Fox (which actually led the most trusted broadcast news) and nearly a third of Britons most trusted the BBC.
I watch both the BBC and Fox - and it's twist from the left and lies from the right. But in a way, Fox is somewhat more reliable - it may not be fair and balanced, but they're pretty up-front and in-your-face about their bias - at least it seems that way to me. The Beeb (as it is affectionately known) hides behind their "scrupulous objectivity" and their hard-left slant is much more subtle.
For all anti-Beebery all the time, check out The American Expatriate blog.
