It's all about perspective...
I really thought most news came to us through the "unbiased and unfiltered words" of the good folks at CNN and the other networks.
That is, until I happened to tune in to BBC Radio after a recent event related to the Iraq War. I was, well, stunned.
The coverage BBC offered was factual and non-judgemental, more complete, and seemed less slanted than our own coverage. (OK, you're probably saying, is he the LAST to figure this out?)
That's when I began to compare BBC vs CNN. You will be surprised. It's a great activity for students or teachers to choose a world event and cover it from both continents. The truth, I'm sure, is somewhere in the middle?
To access BBC you can visit the BBC radio website or grab the terrific Mac OS X Dashboard Widget (my favorite).
Cheers,
