Right Wing - These beliefs value tradition, they are about equity, survival of the fittest, and they believe in economic freedom. They typically believe that business shouldn't be regulated, and that we should all look after ourselves. Right wing people tend to believe they shouldn't a=have to pay for someone else's education or health service. They believe in freedom to succeed over equality.
Left Wing - These beliefs are usually progressive in nature, they look to the future, aim to support those who cannot support themselves, are idealist and believe in equality. People who are left wing believe in taxation to redistribute opportunity and wealth - things like National Health Service (NHS), and job seeker's allowance are fundamentally left wing ideas. They believe equality over the freedom to fail.

As America is an extremely patriotic country, they stand by their views no matter what. With both CNN News and Fox News being owned by private companies, they can afford and almost have the right to be biased in their views when presenting the news. There have been many controversies between the American public and the likes of Bill O'Reilly during interview segments about hard hitting topics, such as the 9/11 Bombings.

| Fox News vs. CNN |
In comparison to the BBC, Fox News and CNN are completely different in their views towards politics and members of the public. As the BBC is publicly funded, they have to be completely unbiased towards any views they feel in order to keep the viewers that are paying their way.

CNN vs BBC
Despite the relative youth of CNN, the company managed to get into international gear relatively quickly. CNN International started in 1985, primarily aimed at US Businessmen in hotels abroad. The vast majority of content was originally from the US channels, and it wasn't until 1992 that productions were ramped up. For its early international ambition and fast work, CNN deserve all of the credit.
The international arm of the British Broadcasting Corporation flicked the switch to power up in 1991. Back then, it was the BBC World Service Television. What started as a nightly, half hour round up show developed quickly to become a 24 hour channel, originally with its own identity, but soon brought into line with the rest of the BBC output. It was the first time the BBC ventured into worldwide broadcasting.
As the CNN and BBC are so different, they both have a wide variety of controversial topics on their show. Whilst CNN use evidence they find themselves and the news presenters begin to become bias, the BBC have to stick to their unbiased opinion as it's a public-funded company.
Cheerio. :o)
