I’m always looking for good sources of accurate media. I used to think BBC was very close, being nonprofit and less manipulative than our corporate media.
According to the Global Free Press rankings for this year, the USA is 22nd in the world. At the top is Finland and Iceland (tied for first place) followed by Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and New Zealand. More here.
What’s the problem with our media?
* Corporate Ownership
* Advertiser Influence
* Official Agendas
* Telecommunications Policy
* The PR Industry
* Pressure Groups
* The Narrow Range of Debate
* Censorship
* Sensationalism

The BBC has a long standing reputation for being unbiased. However, during the last few months the BBC has been said to be guilty of political correctness, the overt promotion of multiculturalism and of being anti-American and against the countryside. The BBC is believed to be taking a more critical look at itself because it fears if it does not, its regulation could be removed from its board of governors and handed over to the independent regulator Ofcom.

Thanks for the comment. I do rely on BBC for good coverage of international affairs we just don’t hear about from our limited media. BBC is one of the only nonprofit news sources around.
