Sorry for answering late. The independence of BBC is probably not perfect, but impressive. I might still trust NY Times and Washington Post more, as long as they don't write about big advertisers. There just seems to be less of organized political pressure on US media than when you have European parties. For the European media I know enough of to have an opinion (Sweden), they are a sad joke. Let me give two examples. 1. Big advertisers never get bad stories. 2. After 1968, the left tried to take over the journalist occupation and seems to own it today. You can check this, by following one of the subjects where the left really care and compare with international press; Israel is good. (Pallywood has never been mentioned in Swedish mainstream media, neither torture between Hamas/PLO. There is a long, long, long list of examples like this.) I've read bad things about e.g. Spanish press, but don't really know. There are, like USA, some incredibly good media in Europe -- and like in USA, most are garbage.
