I think that one can perfectly reasonably say that, at the least, the BBC are far less biased than any newspaper, all of whom perfectly openly have one political "slant" or another - eg the Telegraph is a "Tory" paper, the Mail a "Labour" one, and the Guardian "Liberal".

Must say that is the first time I've heard someone call the Guardian 'Liberal'.
Try 'The Independent', It's free online and a good solid paper
