Well call it intuition if you like, but I had a feeling we might not be in total agreement.  

So, just out of interest who would be your go to source for unbiased reporting?

You know what, I actually don't know. I suspect a lot of the news channels will lean toward a story one way or another, generally I tend to read between the lines of most "news" reports.
I didn't mention specifics, as I don't want to start a political debate 

As regard the programming, yes still the odd gem, (I too enjoy "the repair shop"), but a unfortunately a lot of it now is so OTT PC or "Reality TV" nonsense.
That's fine if that's what they want to broadcast, but the TV licence fee is an outdated concept, it's time the BBC dropped it and funded themselves rather than forcing payment from anyone who watches any kind of live TV.
