BBC seems unbiased when it comes to American issues

I love when PBS has the Foreign news guys on with Charlie Rose. They usually give him honest answers, and don't really try to sway you to think one way, or another. I guess they can be more objective, because they don't have a dog in the fight. Sometimes they seem excited to talk about our news. News people in the U.S. just want to say, or do, something that will get talked on other networks/outlets. U.S. media people want to be part of the story. They want to create a "fan base" that will buy books, videos, etc. they create.

Foreign media people may be waiting to see how things work out in the U.S. before they give an opinion. They know whatever happens here, will eventually make it's way to them. If they hold off on forming an opinion about something that's going on here, they can be right in their own country, when it's their turn to go through the same thing.
