Murdoch passionately hates the BBC. He hates the way it works, how its funded and it's output. I myself think that it's a fucking fabulous institution. I would gladly pay the fee that runs it just for the bits of it I do hear/see/use, nevermind the other 95% of its output I don't go near.

I'd like to more depth to the majority of the news site articles, bbc is great for getting the big picture in small portions over a whole range of issues but can sometimes really like the meat I want to chew into. There, at the minute, the best place for more depth is the verious blogs. Nick Robinsons is pretty good for UK domestic politics. I also nip over to telegraph.co.uk

I use US News & World Report - Breaking News, World News, Business News, and America's Best Colleges - USNews.com for my transatlantic slice, if theres a better alternative I'd be happy to hear about it.

Ditto. While I get some news from cbc.ca (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) - I get all my real news from BBC. I still find the US newssites have too much of a focus on US issues (and sometimes too much of a pro-US tilt). I still shudder whenever a US newscaster uses the word "we" in reference to their country - I'm of the firm belief that the newscaster should detach themselves from the story.
