Think of it what you will, that's how I'm going about it all.
At this point, I can only conclude that the influence of subjective judgement is largely relevant. That is, someone's not detaching themselves from bias. The rest is - you touched on it - playing with logic. lol
I think I've seen a few bits from BBC. They weren't bad, if I remember correctly. Though, that may be because I haven't seen much.

Actually I think we share worldviews in that I also believe that there is very little that we can claim we truly know.
However I think probabilities of truthfulness can be deduced and to live a life in which we trust nobody and nothing would be very bleak.
In that way I think that while I can never know what the media is telling me is true... I can look at the way in which they are telling me.
The way in which FOX reports violates the journalistic integrity I mentioned earlier is the main reason I am against them.
Im not saying CNN etc are perfect. But I have no reason to believe that they are wilfully misleading us the way that it can be said FOX are.
