I disagree.

Many Europeans think they know all about America and Americans but their "knowledge" is seriously tainted by the likes of the BBC and others.

Having your facts wrong is substantially more dangerous than not having your facts at all.

Most Americans know little about Europe because Europe has little if any impact on their lives. Quite the opposite is true for the Europeans. There's a reason for that.

Let me see if I follow this: Paltrow knows little about Europe because she's American; but she likes Britain because it's not America; but like any Britisher, her knowledge of America is tainted by BBC propaganda; therefore, Paltrow doesn't like America.

I have a headache.

Besides, Paltrow is a TERRIBLE actress.

A lot of what they "know" just isn't so.
