Why in the world is this getting such extensive coverage in the English press? Weird. Anything salacious to sell their rag, apparently.
They love anything that makes America look bad. This plays right to their tired stereotypes as well.
You gotta entertain the mob while Rome is burning or they might turn on you. Pointing the finger at America leaves them less time to consider their crumbling society.
Possibly, but they often cover our political arena far better than the MSM. The Brits haven't as much of an agenda.
