OK this I can believe. But the Sun orbiting around the Earth ... come one, 20% !?!? there's no way.
I know many Americans who have said the same after visiting Australia and watching SBS a few times....
Yup, I've noticed the same thing after coming to the US. The media is totally biased here towards the government.
Good God?! Are you serious?????????
Hell, as I see it, the whole fuckin' nation is biased AGAINST the government. Where, please explain, do you get that idea, Sam?? (Except perhaps on national holidays or such ...when all Americans seem to lie!!!)

I suggest you start reading the BBC news website on a regular basis and compare it with the news you receive from the US media.
SamCDKey:
You do realize there was a HUGE news bias story leaked about the BBC, yes?

Was it by the American media?
Its easy to compare news bias by reading news from 5 different places, if you don't like the BBC try Australia, France, any country in Europe, Russia or Africa, newspapers from South East Asia. The easiest route is to read news about America in several newspapers that are not American in origin over a period of time and compare with the newspapers or news media in the States. Amazing what you can discover about media bias that way. (PS sometimes even internet access to webpages is regulated, which is also ascertained by accessing websites like Google from different locations on the globe).
I know that I have been very surprised by the way US foreign policy is presented here. Believe me, no one else in the world sees it that way.
So its even more of a shame how few people are even aware of being manipulated by the media then, isn't it?
Or do they just assume that all other media is biased against them?
since when is the Beeb the absolute base-line / golden standard for measuring bias?
it's a hateful left-wing corporation that bases their news stories on g-d knows what
and who says that what we impulsively want is what's good for us?
if all the media in the US would collectively stop broadcasting porn / violence on TV, and started broadcasting educational programs (e.g. about math), you'll see the following:
1 - people will become more educated
2 - math would become much more popular (pop culture will then evolve around math, not around who's-fucking-who)
3 - there will be more demand for math-based programming
Not me.
No, what you would see is TV ratings drop like an anchor though the bottom of a glass bottom boat.
Educational programming is available. You’ll notice, however, that most of it gets relegated to PBS. This is because not enough people watch it to support it through advertising. We get what we desire, collectively speaking. Television is a true democracy. All the TV executives are interested in is getting as many people to watch as possible.

Because the extent of the blinders on the common people is astonishing.
Most of them don't even have a clue as to the image of Americans abroad.
Can you be more specific, Sam? What US foreign policy(-ies) are you referring to here? I keep hearing such comments, yet no one seems to want to explain exactly what that is.
Now remember, we're not talking about free enterprise and/or private corporations doing business in other nations. Please .....we're talking about US government foreign policies ...where the government institutes laws and/or rules. Our government does not create laws so that MacDonalds can sell burgers in another country!
