The BBC news seems to be the only place to get international news anymore. The networks and cable news shows don't show anything going on in the rest of the world, while the BBC still does.

But it is warped.

Personally, I rely on the Internet.

I use them as a news source because the do a decent job of reporting international news.

But I try to ignore any of their coverage of the middle east, and especially the palestinians, or the US and Israel.

Their coverage on those topics is biased crap.

Excellent. I only get the BBC for half an hour on BBC America every evening. Just hope my cable provider decides to carry it.

Personally I welcome the BBC entering the fray. Fox needs to step it up a few notches and maybe this will spur them to focus more internationally. Don't get me wrong, I love Fox News but they've slacked off.

As a true capitalist, I encourage competition at any time.
