An alternative for news junkies fed up with American TV

CJR.org
It’s “BBC World News America” on PBS, says Ann Cooper. “The show’s coverage of the U.S. is fine — on a par with what’s produced by American media,” she writes. “But that’s not the reason to tune in. No, you want to watch ‘BBC World News America’ for the foreign report.” || Rome Hartman: A new time, place and format for “BBC World News America.”

    I canceled my TV and only watch or read the news on the internet. My favorites are http://www.ibtimes.com/, http://english.aljazeera.net/, http://www.bloomberg.com/, http://www.nytimes.com/ and http://www.csmonitor.com/

    No fake news is a great site that lets you know one of the main things wrong with American TV, http://www.prwatch.org/nofakenews

    Sorry, had problems with the previous posting……Indeed, BBC’s newscast currently airs on my local PBS station, and it’s excellent.
    Another good source for foreign news coverage: Christian Science Monitor and its magazine. CSM’s coverage pretty much predicted what was going to happen in Egypt. And has anyone else reported that Belgium might split up?
