What is your opinion on the credibility of the BBC and CNN news channels?

This is part of my Political Science assignment, and i am supposed to get your opinion on the credibility of these individual news channels. Which channel would you trust more for accurate news, and why?


Thanks in advance :)|||Every news agency is affiliated to some political party.....

out of the two options given I would choose BBC ,it is a bit more credible than CNN|||The BBC is required by its charter to be free from both political and commercial influence and answers only to its viewers and listeners. CNN, like any privately owned media company is biased in some way.


However, it is nearly impossible to be completely neutral and the BBC's political objectivity has been questioned especially by the government of the day. However I would trust BBC news with my life.|||CNN concentrates on US news, and has a liberal bias. I find them less credible than the BBC.





The BBC (at least the part that I get) concentrates on world news and seems to be more even handed in their coverage.|||BBC is slightly more credible. CNN is completely full of crap.


As are most media outlets.|||I am distrustful of the news media. The only outlet I might trust is the NY Times newspaper|||I don't believe everything they say.|||BBC news is accurate and panders to no one|||both are quite credible





now Fox news thats another thing...
