Nothing wrong with the difference either, I appreciate ad breaks on other channels but the BBC is one of the best institutions in the UK IMO. I don't watch a lot of their channels but their website, radio stations, catch up service and news centre are of the highest quality available in Britain and justify the license fee completely

To have a mostly neutral news service is much appreciated, I would rather that than ITV News, Sky, Fox, God forbid...C5 News (shudders)

The BBC news, neutral?? :/

It's been a cherry-picking propaganda machine for half a century. There's no such thing as neutral news in the mainstream media... And the BBC is frankly one of the worst. In fact, all BBC-made programming is full of subtle propaganda.
