You don't get it do you?
Fox News isn't just biased, they actively distort facts and ignore anything that doesn't fit into their warped world view.

And you were doing so well.

So do other Liberal news channels.
There should be a news market in which the public should be allowed to hear what they want to.

Utter bollocks,
that's all fair enough if it's packaged as entertainment or discussion.
It's absolutly incompatable with the idea of news. Are you saying if you ask any watcher of news in America if they want to hear accurate unbiased news they'll say "no, I want biased inacurate news please" consumer choice only counts if there is a viable alternative.

y'know just because they are left of your position, does not make then biased.
I find them shockingly pro-authority and rather right wing at times, but I suspect this is because I am a commie/anarchist and they actually represent a fairly middle of the road viewpoint somewhere between your EDL sympathies and my desire to smash the state and instantiate a mutualist utopia (joke).

I am able to envisage unbiased news, because ITV is always quite fair.

By world standards it's one of the best ones.
And it makes channel 4 news which is my personal fave.

Oh right.
Thought you were talking about pure ITV ITN, which always seems a little over-sensationalised to me. Then again, I can never bring myself to watch ITV. I always end up feeling a little dirty for some reason.
