Just to be clear, BBC World & CNN Int'l are global news channels, with 300 million and I think around 200 million subscribers globally. A-J is the new kid on the block, with about 80 million I think. All three of these report global events and perspectives, with obviously A-J taking a more middle east view, and CNN with an American perspective and BBC as is obvious. All three are respected for their global coverage.
Fox is a purely US based news channel on a global mission to virtually give it away to cable and satellite stations globally. Everyone knows Fox is a right wing spin machine, nonstop propaganda source, and does not cover global news unless it's directly related to the US. It's domestic news is heavily concentrated on politics, and to a lesser extent tabloid crime coverage.
Nobody with a brain would rely on any one source for coverage, but to ignore the importance of any one of them and to belittle people for watching one because it does not agree with personal politics is nonsense.
