ANTI-AMERICAN = impartial. Pro-American = bias:
The Murdoch-owned Fox News Channel, whose determinedly patriotic stance during the Iraq conflict brought it critical notoriety but commercial success, is under investigation by television regulators in Britain for alleged bias.

If the network is found to have breached the ITC's "due impartiality" rules, it could be forced out.
Nine whole complaints. Wow. Encouraged by this tsunami of outrage, The Guardian editorialises:
