I'm always slightly surprised at how overtly biased the American news programmes are on TV (like Fox). Over here the TV news is fairly balanced, with a slightly adversarial approach to whoever is in power.
Our newspapers, however, carry a more obvious bias. There are tory papers and liberal left papers. But we don't have tory news programmes and liberal left new programmes.
Funny that. Wonder why bias goes through one medium here and another there?
