Is your country "Internation" or "National" minded?

A little bit better today then.

It also has made some grave errours when there was the witch hunt for the taliban and osama leaders in Afganistan.

Front page saying that omar something was captured.
(never happened) and after some days that he was (again ) captured...

Its culture section is interesting though

Weather report seen in national newspaper:
Fog in Channel. Continent cut off.

If you want to see a decent international news broadcast here in the States, you have to try to catch BBC, or better yet, ITN. Hell, even CBC.

Can you not get Sky News? BBC here is slanted, and ITN is not my viewing choice. Channel 4 news is good, but its not got a dedicated news channel.

Isn't CBC a childrens' channel?

BBC is too liberal.

BBC is OK unless it deals with matters of "Britain vs others'' where it falls back to the inevitable "national" bias.

if you wanna read some thick bias (and not at all subtle) it's french press dealing with british-uk matters.

Still Le Monde is one of the finest analytical newspapers there is. (not devoided of bias either)

Sag,

No, I don't think I can get Sky. In fact, I can't remember what channel provides the ITN broadcasts... that might have been my parent's cable company, which is different from the one I have.

Besides, I don't get my news from TV. It is usually crap. So I get it elsewhere.

BBC news is a pile of toss. Their reporters can get very opinionated and end up trying to champion a cause. I've said it many times before, but Jeremy Bowen infuriates me.

You want international news forget TV and Radio, go
Shortwave, every country in the World braodcasts SW.

Get the BS straight from the source

[Bereta_Eder]

BBC news website, is not a pile of **** unless , as i said, is britain against someone else.

[Bereta_Eder]

and even then it struggles to try and be a bit objective

if you want really opinionated burrying of another country read liberation on britain

[Bereta_Eder]

then again, im talking about international issues, dont know of course how it handles internal ones

[Plan Austral]

Argentina is very national minded, that is probably because we have so many problems that we do not have enough time to care about what happens in foreign countries.

We have a very similar saying when referring to Uruguay (our brother in the region), we say "cruzando el charco" "across the puddle", the River Plate separates us from Uruguay.

Most annoying show on british TV right now: "What the victorians did for us", a light-hearted look at the scientific and technological advances of the 19th century... except those (ie. about 95% of 'em) that happened outside the Birtish Isles.

What did the Victorians do for us outside the British Isles then?
