I hate that my local New Hampshire NPR station broadcasts BBC nonsense.

The online version of the BBC once reported, in a straight news article, that "one in three American schoolchildren bring a gun to school". I lambasted them for it in an email, and they removed it and posted a "correction". But you have to wonder just what sort of monkeys they have on their staff to allow something that ridiculous to get into their "news" articles in the first place.

Too many Brits and Euros are ready and eager to believe the worst about Americans thanks to their incredibly leftist-biased news media like the Beeb. When my English-born fiancee came to America, she thought the first armed cop she saw was going to shoot her. Certainly we Americans have our weaknesses, but I believe a lot of the anti-American sentiment is an attempt by many Euros to cover up their own inferiority complexes. However don't discount the terrible leftist bias of their "betters" in the media. From the stuff I've read in Brit rags other than the Telegraph, Gilligan is probably just the average Brit journalist in his political views. Socialism is a tough disease to conquer.
