Yeah, I had the "pleasure" of watching some of the Fox coverage of the Iraq war. It had the level of intelligence of a 5 year old.

Hmm, lets see.

1. "We" should be capitalized.
2. "American" should be capitalized.
3. "There" is a demonstrative pronoun. You want the reflexive pronoun "their."
4. Your sentence should end with a period.

Everyone knows that BBC's coverage was much more fair and balanced because Fox had a suicide, a government investigation for lies, and the management had to resign.

Blah, blah, blah, blah

Fox is an American network so it is going to biased towards the US. The BBC will be biased towards the UK.

There's nothing so amazing about that.

Fox caters to the part, a very large part, of America that are not interested in anything outside of America or anything that does not involve America, because they do think (and in cases are probably right)that the world revolves around them.

The Brits and Europeans in general have much broader knowledge and understanding of world issues.

No, WE had a government sponsored whitewash. Although the BBC's report was not proven (and this is why the BBC were wrong to broadcast it), many believe there was some truth in it. Afterall, WHERE ARE THE WMD's? The CIA have had their top WMD expert scouring Iraq for them. What has he found? NOTHING!

At least the BBC have had the decency to show some concern for the dead in Iraq. What about Fox? They are just screaming how the Americans have done well and how George W Bush is saving the world by invading Iraq. No mention of all the lives that have been lost (650 Americans amongst them). What about these lives? What has been achieved? Absolutely nothing, except sending a country into chaos. The REAL enemy is still out there....look at the recent events in Spain!

Don't even attempt to put Fox up against the BBC when discussing fairness and impartiality. Any of the mainstream U.S. TV channels could be used for comparison but not the flag waving moronic propaganda outlet for the U.S. Republican party.

Except it isn't... It is biased very much against the UK, which is why the Royal Navy got rid of it and put Sky on.

Yes. Moronic enough not to lie, moronic enough not to get a government investigation, and moronic enough not to have had their management resign...
