>And don't forget, BBC is also funded by a government. So is Canadian CBC. CNN also gets a lot of gov contracts and gov crossover. I don't know if BBC is, what is your source on that? As for the others, they may receive money from the government but they are now owned by the government like sputnik. I don't think either are remotely comparable to sputnik though. The source of the news always matters and it's fair to point out if they are heavily biased.
