A news station that always takes the unpopular side of a story, regardless of significance.
Terrorists attack? Misunderstood foreigners desperately make political statement.
Man convicted of murder? Man framed for murder.

[tc], I am agog; is there a perception that the Beeb has an anti-War bias? |

That’s the main reason I watch the BBC – a different bias. Same reason I read Al-Jazeera. |
