But you can stay home, watch Fox Noise and think everybody is out there to "get you" and be afraid of your own shadow.

Sunnfun - Somehow I think you're a Communist News Network connoisseur...

Actually, I prefer the good old BBC.

I see, British Badmouth Corporation - the good 'ole anti-American beacon?
I’m a born and raised in Europe myself and am very familiar with bbc. Although I do enjoy many of their programs I'd hardly call their news reporting impartial. Very leftist (after all they're paid by the British taxpayers) and pro middle-eastern (read Muslim).

Still better than most, if not all, of the domestic US "news" networks. Add some german news (DW TV is pretty good) to the beeb and you get a pretty balanced view on the current affairs.

Some don't like balanced views, they just like to have their prejudice reinforced. Like our friend above who seems to have not noticed the availability of certain pertintent information about flight plans and a/c movements around the world; thus sought to remind the FI community that it should be avoided to discuss such here.

And now for something completely different!

I read and watch Deutsche Welle very often but what makes you think it offers a “balanced view?” Is it the fact it’s a German network?

Not sure if you’re talking about me (I assume so since my screen name is right above your post). Personally I don’t think it has to do with reinforcing a prejudice – rather it has to do with my refusal to join the “everything is America’s fault” crowd.

Sorry, I was referring to this and this; "above" as in higher up in the thread posting order.

I see, thanks for the clarification.

I still think it's great there's at least one news channel out there where America Hate isn't the norm - in my view it's the network you call Fox Noise.
