I personally think that the BBC is horribly biased, and so I was
alarmed to see how often we link to them, as compared to other sources that may give a
more "fair and balanced" perspective (yes, you know what I mean, and
yes I'm having fun).
I am not sure what you mean, but I am glad you are having fun. You say that a good portion of the BBC links are about the BBC, leaving (I guesstimate) 100 that use the BBC as a source. Well I guess I am personally responsible for a huge chunk of those. I reference my articles more than most, and I write on British current event issues and the BBC is a very natural source area for these areas. If there is a problem with the BBC as a source (but not geocities!!) then it is important for me to know what it is.

If I'm not mistaken, he's referring to Fox News, which touts itself as "fair and balanced". It's not.
