The BBC is probably one of the worst news sources there is. I'm not sure where they got their reputation from... Always get your news from multiple sources.

Always get your news from multiple sources.
- LeoPanthera 12y agoThis is why I like Google News. Despite my usual reflexive dislike of Google products, it's a decent mash of lots of different sources.
- bainsfather 12y agoI find the BBC to be very good for most topics, generally better than e.g. the Guardian or other 'broadsheet' newspapers. BUT I have been shocked/amazed by the BBC coverage of Snowden - their silence was often deafening. From what I have seen this last year or so, they are definitely severely biased and/or muzzled on some topics - presumably following pressure by the UK govt.
- allegory 12y agoYes I've noticed that. If a subject is not compatible with current government whim, there is always silence.
