I'm just curious as I've started to watch Sky News a lot more than BBC news now. |

BBC News 24 is on in the office, with comedy subtitles. |

When I watch "rolling news" I tend to watch BBC News24, but it's getting worse, it's like it's trying to be like Sky News, which makes me sad. Malc |

BBC News 24 has about 5 news stories that they run in a 24 hour cycle, then pick another 5 for the next day. It's fucking tedious. I have never watched Sky News, and nor will I. Filthy Fox scum. |

When I was in the colonies last year I tended to watch Fox News when in motel rooms. It was so much more fun than the staid CNN or the BBC approach we get over here. |

Always BBC. Because it's a wonderful thing. Even when they do stupid things, like rebranding BBC3 as a more chavvy E4 type channel, or moving Dr Who about so it doesn't get as good viewing figures, it is still a Good Thing. Other news channels scare me. They're either tedious tabloid rubbish (Sun and Daily Mail type stuff), or terrifying corporate Amercian stations with extreme political bias. LTIA |

Disturbingly, the Tories have promised to scrap neutrality regulation of TV news... Last time I watched Sky News was just before the Iraq invasion occurred five years ago. Was nothing but a pro-war propaganda channel at the time. I remember seeing a report about schoolkids protesting against the war during school hours, and the anchorman scoffing about the kids being skiving scumbags who love Saddam Hussein. What shit. I do like the news channel called EuroNews, by the way. It looks very cheap, but it actually has news stories about Foreign countries that aren't America. Our news, newspapers and TV channels, don't cover other countries, particularly our European neighbours, half as much as they should do. |

As I read the BBC News website all day in work, when I actually watch news on TV it's either CNN, Fox or... RUSSIA TODAY! See, why can't we get some reporters as filthy as the RT ones? And I don't mean Fiona Sodding Bruce. |

Rolling news is the worst thing to happen to news in the history of ever. It's turned everything into a BREAKING story. Everything is a journey that the viewer and presenter are on together. Its helping bring about the end of the well researched story that is then announced once finished. It means journalists are even more scared to piss off important people purely because they've so many desperate empty hours to fill and they would rather be able to produce 24 hrs of towing the line tosh rather than 2 hours of hard hitting insightful work. GAH! (But the lesser of the evils is the BBC because at least they still try to do the insightful stuff) |

Whilst I share your sentiments of Fiona Bruce, do bear in mind, though, that she can gobble cock on an industrial scale. |

I've been watching quite a lot of BBC World News this past week. Despite it being supposedly a World News channel, it's amazing how there's virtually no coverage of news in the UK at all - not even weather reports - and it does make you wonder just how many people watching are Brits on holiday (like myself) wanting to find out what's happening at home. Still, if we're talking weathergirls, I've become quite partial to Laura Tobin these past couple of days

I did this thing four years ago, when I used to post at B3TA. I can assure everyone that it was remarkably funny in such a simpler age, honest. :  But anyway. Back when it was free, Fox News could be simply mesmerising. It's like a Dogme95 version of The Colbert Report. Sadly, Sky then added it to their News, Documentaries And Frothing Right-Wing Rhetoric Mix, and paying for it would be all kinds of wrong. If it's got to be rolling news, then it's News 24, though there's only so many times you can listen to the exact same stories. But, who is the best? Fox News, or BBC News? There's only one way to find out - Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! (note: The above would work so much better if I could have found the clip mentioned in this story, where John Gibson accuses the BBC of "a frothing-at-the-mouth anti-Americanism". By which he meant "not putting forward a heavily biased pro-Republican slant on a major news story".) |
