BBC used to be considered superior to our own news. We could catch it really early in the morning if we were "objective news" people. Then the fluff would come on at sunrise.
It's been my observation we've never had a great opinion of our own media. What we had in my youth was a decorative form of it bordering on propaganda (more focused on American patriotic's POV than not), but it did serve an important role in our public discourse.
