Now, I am not particularly loyal to any news source, but...
If I never listened to the BBC News, I wouldn't feel so cultured with names like Mubarak and Bagbo floating around in my head and I probably wouldn't be talking to my dog and children with a strong, British accent sometimes, either. I wouldn't have a general knowledge about where the most 'dead bodies' are piling up and I wouldn't feel so curious about places like the dark side of the moon, nor would I be including it on the list of possible origins of my own opinion!
If I never listened to the BBC News, I would feel like the world is a lot bigger than it actually is and my idea of 'neighbor' probably wouldn't extend beyond the block where I live.
I never imagined I would grow up and be interested in the news (yawn), I never really was before, always too busy gathering the latest from the trenches of the natural world around me, seemingly oblivious to the rest.
I appreciate that the BBC attracts my forever-immature mind by delivering the news like a sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, usually interesting epic story of reality that, combined with what I already 'knowish', further enlightens my personal journey of discovery.
