ABC does it for me, unbias, forward, trustworthy. (although some viewers have complained of their bias towards america...in which case i dont really care) Actually mostly everything on that channel is quality. Foreign Correspondant, compass...
Anyone agree?

Although i also watch SBS, that chinese lady kinda scares me - self explanatory.

Dont get me started on channel ten - not only did they rip off the ABC's Jamie oliver, but the news is like watching new idea/womans day, all those 'royal/celebrity' news, who gives a damn? And they were promoting Australian Idol too :mad1:

Anyone watch sunrise? I love kochy! Did anyone see their remix of 'where is the love'?

channel 10 buys foreign news so does SBS now i think, my teacher recommended to watch/listen to ABC, who cares if it's biased towards the US, isn't everything in the Media? (Except John Howard)

I have all the CNN channels and Sky News on Optus, so I flick to them more often than watching the news. I'd rather read the paper which is very narrow-minded of me, but so be it.

ABC unbiased????????????? they are so far left its not funny, Tony Eastley (sp?) is the fattest communist ever, im suprised the governmet doesnt shut them down, i supose their trying buget cuts and all... still better than Nine.
Best for news is googles automated website takes stories form hundreds of sources giving you many opionions on one topic (if you could be bothered to read more than one...)

Maybe, but I don't have time for the televised news. But when I do I watch CNN and sky news.

www.cnnenespanol.com though I don't really think you can read that if you don't understard spanish and there are almost no news about Australia.

From newspapers, SMH whenever I have the chance and...Daily Telegraph because that's the one my uncle is subscribed to. In TV...Channel 10 because is the only channel with a acceptable signal in my TV.

CNN and other cable news is live, and often the news on American TV is played before it is here (Most world events happen while we are asleep).

I watch a mix of channel 7, SBS, CNN, BBC, Sky News London and Fox News ...

SBS used to be good, until they started buying their news from other sources :s

ABC is definately biased...
