{{examples}}
== United States ==
* General news networks:
** '''[[CNN]]''', the first 24-hour news network. Is typically viewed as the more centrist/moderate of the major American news networks, although naturally, both sides have accused it of bias. Has several spinoff networks, which are listed on its page.
Line 15 ⟶ 14:
** '''[[MSNBC]]''', until recently a collaboration between Microsoft and [[NBC]]. The more left-leaning of the American news networks.
** '''[[HLN]]''', formerly known as CNN Headline News and, before that, CNN2. Its main draw was originally a 30-minute newscast that's repeated all day. [[Network Decay]] pushed the newscast out of [[Prime Time]] to make way for live discussion programs, and increasing its focus on celebrity news and [[Missing White Woman Syndrome|missing white women]].
** '''Current TV''', formerly known as INdTV, is a news network targeted at younger, college-aged viewers and specialized in viewer-generated content. It has spinoffs in the UK and Ireland, Italy, and Canada. It is partially owned by [[Al Gore]] and Joel Hyatt. It has a decidedly left-wing perspective, often going well beyond MSNBC's liberal slant. In 2009, two of their journalists were briefly detained by the North Korean government. They snagged [[Countdown with Keith Olbermann|Keith Olbermann]] as Chief News Officer following his departure from MSNBC—then unsnagged him 13 months later after a series of contractual and other disputes.▼
** '''CBN''', the Christian Broadcasting Network, is a conservative Christian network which is kinda sorta not really a network anymore, having long ago [[Network Decay|decayed]] into [[ABC Family]] after being bought out by [[FOX]] and later [[Disney]]; what's left of CBN is a [[Syndication]] service that creates programs for other Christian networks (and ABC Family, which is still contractually required to air CBN's flagship program, ''The 700 Club'', although they generally treat it as [[Old Shame|their red-headed stepchild]]).
*** '''CBN News''', the actual news broadcaster for CBN, continues to exist as both a sub-program within the ''700 Club'' and their own half-hour broadcast. However, it is editorially separate from the ''700 Club'', has their own website, and runs a separate televised news broadcast on TBN on Saturdays. Obviously, it takes a conservative Christian stance, though it has a reputation for being impartial when covering current affairs... unless said current affairs involve Muslims, abortion, gays, ''[[Harry Potter]]'' books or other hot-button social issues, at which point they [[Turns Red|go nuclear]].
** The defunct '''Newsworld International''', which was owned by the [[CBC]] for the first few years of its life (it took its name from CBC Newsworld) and later by the USA Network (which at the time was owned by Vivendi Universal). It

Their English version recently snagged legendary British television journalist Sir David Frost as an on-air personality. The name means "The Island," but thanks to the vagaries of Arabic, it actually means "The [Arabian] Peninsula."
* '''Al Arabiya''': A pan-Arabic news network based in [[Dubai]] and funded by the Saudis. It was launched as a direct competitor to [[Al Jazeera]], and is more openly critical of Islamic radicalism and the Iraqi insurgency.
