The BBC had an article on bitcoin recently that was very positive, it was even referred to as a popular payment system and an article from CNN shortly after saying bitcoin kicks ass (with a thin coat of bad points) makes me nervous. The BBC is a good news service, especially the world service, but anything they report on relevant to British institutions has God save the Queen subliminally playing in the background. Irrelevant to the thread but the BBC is one of few places where "corporation" has kept its original meaning.

The beeb buys some good documentaries occasionally. But it is relatively supportive of the wars in the Middle East, the war on terror and all this immoral stuff and it has some values that are not up for debate such as the monarchy.

If you want honest world news, RT is much better, or Euronews.
PressTV is a bit radical but they have a lot of very good points and definitely worth watching.
