Thinking outside the box... producing elegant solutions.

Extremely! Well written and not too biased...
Free from grammatical mistakes, but a little too cynical to be all that use ful.
If news services couldn't be objective enough to be useful, they wouldn't h ave survived. There are news organisations around that are selective enough in what they report to be attractive to right-wing nitwits, and a few that appeal to the rather less well-heeled left-wing nitwits, but there is a mo re or less objective collection that looks tolerably disinterested and that makes enough money to survive.
Or - like the BBC - get enough bipartisan support to keep on looking much t he same whichever party happens to be in power.
Jeremy Rosen presumably doesn't find the BBC to be sufficiently pro-Israel. Few middle of the road news organisations can manage that these days.

... and attacked by supporters of whichever party happens to be in power at the time. And, disgracefully, occasionally by some MPs.
The people in the BBC console themselves with the concept that if they are being attacked by both the hard left and hard right, they are probably getting it about right.

That's only because your exposure to the BBC's output in the US is so limited you haven't woken up to how Left-wing their bias actually is.
That's the standard Tory supporters' line. Labour supporters say the opposite when they are in power.
And they're pedophiles.
Yeah, Pravda is entirely unbiased hey Bill.
Indeed! I followed the BBC website for awhile, then couldn't stomach it any more. ...Jim Thompson

It's not interesting and it's not about media objectivity. It's an oblique attempt to refute the NYT article about the friggin west bank wall. Dunno why you should concern yourself with the west bank wall...
+1 but radio. I lasted 2 days.

At least it isn't Murdoch owned - but even Murdoch finally got around to firing Bill O'Reilly from Fox News for persistent sexual harassment.
Pravda isn't "biassed" - it's the recognised voice of the Russian Government. The word "prava" means "truth" in Russian, with the implication that the "truth" involved is the "truth" that every obedient citizen is obliged to accept.
Pravda isn't a news service in any useful sense of the term - it is a Russian Government information service, which is something you really ought to have known.

I ALSO like feet..
Ask any right-winger. They are so habituated to their regular diet of right-wing propaganda that unbiased reporting upsets them.
-- Bill Sloman, sydney
Hilarious. Actually Pravda is useful in that it's willing to get honest on occasion when no-one else is. If you want to understand what's going on in the world you do need to include Russian government reporting in your reading.

Yes, they are and institutionally so, too. In fact above Broadcasting House in London they have statues (which they have refused to take down) one of which depicts the rape of a child by an old man. These were created about 80 years ago I believe by some old paedo name of Eric Gill (IIRC) - a particularly vile specimen of human being who also gave his name to the Gill series of typefaces. Paedophillia runs systemically through the Corporation and nothing is *ever* done about it.
The Hollywood bunch in this country are the same way...
Indeed. For some reason the entire entertainment industry is a magnet for these unsavoury types.
Have you ever thought about that film which won a record-breaking 9 "Oscars", and which, 33 years later was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
I refer, of course, to Gigi.
