I watch BBC World every day for the very reason that its not at all sensational. Reports are always just stating what they know about whats going on, and tend to avoid speculation.

EDIT: Just saw the links Temporary_user posted and that pretty much shuts down the argument of the link the OP posted
Ya BBC, not BBC World. Didn't mean to write that. My grandpa's English and always had satellite, I remember watching those stations with him so many times growing up. I used to always get a kick out of how they sensationalized everything. No different than you'd see here, but certainly not any better either.

My mom would bring home magazines from England when she visited family there and I'd flip through em it a lot. I think the Brits are just as celeb-crazy as people here & in the States.
