Divided by a Common Language - News

BBC News America is an abomination.  If you can find BBC World News on your local PBS channel here in the US, watch that instead.  

BBC News America is BBC News dumbed down because some cretin clearly thinks that the existence of Fox News means all Americans are stupid.

Quote from tonight's news bulletin:

"Scientists are saying that the polar ice caps could melt in as little as not twenty, not ten but five years.  That's only five Memorial Days away."

This is an insult to the BBC, to the UK and to Americans.  On behalf of the UK, I'd like to apologize to all Americans for the imbecilic editor who is responsible for this drivel.  Mr Rome Hartman, stand up and take a bow, you condescending twit.
