"
American TV news (especially MSM) is woefully boring and unsophisticated if you ask me. "
As compared to the "sophisticated" BBC which is so "advanced" that they kept telling the whole world that American troops were not even at Baghdad Airport, long after every single American network and cable news network has not only reported US troops at Baghdad Airport , but had streamed in videos of US troops there.

Look, I watched BBC new for 10 years.
Today, I wouldn't watch the BBC if I had a gun pointed at my head.
Much rather watch the far more balanced Fox News any day.
My favorites are FOX, and of course NHK for sheer documentaries in Japan. General news, I like to watch Japanese private TV stations such as Fuji, Asahi, NTV, etc.
