Here's this about the BBC:

We belonged instead to a dispersed “metropolitan media arts graduate” tribe. We met over coffee, lunch, drinks and dinner to reinforce our views on the evils of apartheid, nuclear deterrence, capital punishment, the British Empire, big business, advertising, public relations, the royal family, the defence budget – it’s a wonder we ever got home.

The second factor that shaped our media liberal attitudes was a sense of exclusion. We saw ourselves as part of the intellectual elite, full of ideas about how the country should be run. Being naive in the way institutions actually work, we were convinced that Britain’s problems were the result of the stupidity of the people in charge of the country.

This ignorance of the realities of government and management enabled us to occupy the moral high ground. >>

Walter Cronkite?

What a complete joke. So it seems it's not liberal media bias you're concerned with ... it's just the news in general. Can't say I blame ya. If I had to defend the nonsense that Republicans have done while in office, I'd hate having to read about it or see it on my TV, too.

Sorry, H-toon ... if I wanted to debate teenagers on matters of substance, I'd comment on LoneStarTimes.
