Anybody watch news channels that are outside the US?

I try not to accept any single news source as being all factual. I don't put hardly any stock in CNN, MSNBC, CBS, etc. I tend to believe a little more of Fox, but not blindly. I'm always disappointed when I watch national news coverage on something that may be occurring from where I live or related to the company I work for. No matter who is doing the coverage, it is always slanted or sensationalized. I find it interesting to watch some of the international news feeds. Russia Today (RT) (channel 280 Dish) and others are easily viewable these days. I'm sure they slant the news toward their own advantage, but I watch those periodically to combine with the left and right slants we have in the US to try and determine what is actually going on.
Anybody else view international news stations? Find any that seem credible?

I streamed BBC the night of the Brexit vote. Otherwise, no.

Finnish News which is owned by the government. Seems as if they just copy and paste everything from CNN when it comes to world news.

I travel quite a bit, so I see quite often bit of RT, BBC, AL Jazeera, sky news, and even the international version of CNN that airs outside of the US.
While I agree that they are more objective than news networks in the states, there is generally an underlying disdain for America and our way of doing things that is hard to ignore. Much of their US coverage offshoots from our local media stories so the leftist tinge is apparent also.

Our PBS station runs the half hour BBC news at 5 p.m. I watch that instead of the local news (which is repeated at 6) and alternate the 5:30 national news between CBS and ABC.

Every one has a point of view.
I record dw german, bbca England, and rt. Sometimes catch french. The french have the best looking newsreaders and by far best clothes. RT women are as good as FOX
I DONT TRUST ANYONE.
