Why in Hell would an American want to watch American news from a British perspective?
Is this poster nuts?
I'd say he should have asked about CNN and FOX, but I don't think CNN does any real news anymore.

You should do it sometime. If you thought MSNBC was biased the BBC news division will blow your mind.

No, I seen plenty of the BS, BBC on PBS.
What is it with the leftists and initials?

It wasn't the burhka on the weather girl, it was the midget with a headsman's axe, reading the daily fatwah......

Ok, just to be clear, it looks like I had two reponses I could count.

Solar - Fox News, leans right.
The Booman - Fox News, leans right.

I was hoping for more, looks like I'll have to hit other avenues.

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.
You may want to rethink your approach, I mean really rethink it, your query had no basis in reality, you asked Americans if they'd rather get their news from a foreign source, or the most popular news network in the US.
Anyone that said BBC, is an obvious American hating leftist, because that's the way the BBC leans, and only a leftist would seek an aligned opinion.

The query was intentionally worded the way it needs to be, like I said this wasn't about politics, it's about statistics. Since you don't know what I'm testing for you have no way to know whether the query has a basis in reality or not.

Then where is your disclosure, what is it's purpose, who is it being done for?
You come to a Conservative board and ask a stupid question, then expect a biased answer.

Your question is akin to going to a dog show and asking those in attendance "which do they prefer, dogs or cats"?
You seem to come with a bias.

I'm no fan of network news in the first place, so your question fails from the start, I get all my news from the web, all of it, sometimes BBC has a story, or FOX, but generally I use obscure sources, ones willing to tell the whole story, not just the pablum those in charge want us to hear.

Lol, you're obviously "testing for" the sole purpose of being an annoying little shit.

This means a lot to you ?  Sad.

OP, I have a poll too just for you.

1. Do you prefer MSNBC, huffpo, or The Daily Show for your news?

2. Do you consider yourself a liberal or a "progressive"?

3. Do you honestly think we don't see through your feeble attempted attack?

4. Given that you've clearly just begun your basic level political science class at a half-rate liberal univeristy or junior college, when do you plan on moving out of your mommy's house?

5. Do you ever intend to work or simply live off the government?

These are all honest questions for a study I'm conducting that I can't tell you about. Don't try to understand my questions as you have no idea what I'm really studying. Just help me out by answering these simple poll questions.

Exactly, and it would be weird if you went to a dog show and everyone had no opinion about dogs.  When you go back to the cat show all of them respond they love cats.

You've under represented yourselves, which while it is a result, it wasn't the expected result. This will make the study even more interesting, however, most likely inconclusive.

Under represented ourselves? Actually, it is you that failed to make a case for your innocuous little query, so really no one is interested in answering some trolls poll.
I oppugn your intentions, either give more information, or simply go away and bug someone else.

haha, the trials and tribulations of the itinerant "social scientist".

What a self deluded, self-stroking asswipe.

Nobody cares that you're trying so hard to annoy the adults.

Go do your damned homework and take out the garbage already.

The query was intentionally queery.

Definitely on queer street, no doubt.
