BBC sites are all about explaining in twee accents to Americans why they are blithering, uncivilized, benighted idiots and why they should surrender the country to become slaves of the Queen again for their own good.
BBC is governed by the BBC Charter,
And yet they refer to Pakistani Muslim gangs in England as "Asian gangs" ....a catch-all term for all east, southeast and south asians
Actually, now that I think about it, the entire media in Britain does this, mainly because they are trying to say that Pakistani muslims are the same as the rest of the people from Asian countries. BBC is no better or worse than the daily mail tabloid in this regard
But then Again you're probably British/European and consider the term Asian to be politically correct
Someone who actually gets it....sadly you're pc ass or arse, if you will, doesn't fall into that category
http://www.britainfirst.org/asian-grooming-gangs-dont-lump-sikhs-hindus-in-with-muslims/
And if the story is true, why does it matter where it comes from?
Seriously, such a predictable response to something from breitbart which often reprints other articles

Another non-sequitur. The Daily Mail is a known right wing inflammatory rag. What has that got to do with the BBC being overly careful in its choice of language? The media didn't use that language to imply all asians were the same, they apparently did it to avoid further inflaming an already tense situation. Those media outlets made that judgement call, which is entirely up to them. If you think that is an outrageous wrong, then I think you are simply desperately scrabbling around to try and find morsels to prop up whatever it is you're trying to argue. What is it you're trying to argue by the way?
And wasn't the point of this thread to post up suggestions for the best sources of impartial news? None are perfect. The BBC is better than the vast majority out there.

Actually, I don't have the slightest problem with the press stating exactly who did it. That was their call not mine. I also don't, rather like most of the UK, have any particular concern about appearing pc - that seems to be more of an issue for people in the US. Mind, I also wouldn't go searching for my info from a 'britainfirst' website either.

And often moulds them into the very particular light that they want to cast.

The New York Times once represented the pinnacle of journalism. I haven't seen or heard anything, for more than a decade, that resembles what I was taught in my journalism college courses.
A perfectly detailed and grammatically correct story would be entirely viscerated by those old school journalism professors - just for choosing to use adjectives. Now they live for their accentuated language. It's not even hidden.

Israel is clearly an occupying state. It is racist to the core. So, anyone who covers Israel with a negative bent is likely telling the truth. No other nation would get away with occupying a people for over 60 years. No one.

This.
A good prescription is:
1 hr of each
* fox
*msnbc
* rational thought
Patrick, you cannot "trust" just one news site.
The sole function of media is to introduce biases.
You have to get many data points and decide for your own.

make a habit of going right to the "autoplay videos" and click the 'pause' button in the first second.
fuckem.
Drudge and read the actual source documents before believing. And the headlines are click bait lots of times.

FORBES....
was good when founder Malcolm ran it, but son Steve rolled a long way downhill from that tree. One good thing: where Forbes publishes more than one author writing about a topic, I have learned from reading their critiques of each others' work. Also the website requires a lot of scripting and ads.

The Guardian is good overall, but not for gender politics. Wikileaks.
Blogs like Naked Capitalism and Wolfstreet, with a dash of Zero Hedge. although only very few of ZH articles are good anymore and many are downright kooky or wrong. Stockmanscontracorner if it was still free. RussiaToday. Robert Reich. Huffington post used to be good, but not on gender and not on Bernie. Triangulate, don't interpolate.
And of course, PatNet, but ignoring many more articles than those by the authors that I officially ignore.

Why don't any of the surrounding countries want the Palestinians Gary?
Why do the Palestinians reject Israels offers of coexistence Gary?

Guardian has gone way down since that chick took over. It's backed the Blairtard Finance-SJW Alliance Wing of Labour, hates on Russia, defends Rapefugees, defames Whites, and is pro-SJW.
It's now a Financial Trust Fund Baby Social Justice Warrior Mag.

Allow me to posit that rather than looking for an impartial news source, you ask yourself "Is there any news worth reading?"
If you say yes I'll second Gropey with Drudge. You get alot of content in one place, mainstream, and alternative.

Coverage of Trump was almost comically negative, with the line between editorial and news barely existing.
Is this how it works ?

Patricks statement clearly said that "news barely existing".

About 1 ZH article out of 20 is useful.
By useful, I mean it may provide a good lead in the opposite direction.
Just use ZH for data points.

Now that the NY Times, CNN, WaPo have all thoroughly discredited themselves, where can I go and read detailed news that actually feels somewhat objective and impartial again?
Maybe there are some good foreign sites that cover America better than its own mainstream media does?
