Maybe they'll revamp CNN International, aka BBC lite. When I'm overseas it is sometimes the only news source available but it's painful to watch. If you think the CNN shown in the US has an anti US tilt you ain't seen nuthin' til you see the International version. It's so bad that the sports covers every soccer match and cricket score but doesn't even cover baseball or football. It's pathetic.

You got that right. I watched a video feed passing through a satellite facility in the ME get spun 180 degrees by CNN Int'l. later that night. These people aren't only incompetent, they're downright criminal in their reporting.

Yeah, I know. I saw it every day when I was in Germany earlier this year. Not only was the news and lack of sports bad, they had anchors with the screechiest voices ever. Terrible.

I agree, the CNN coming out of Britain is definitely anti-US. It doesn't slant to the liberal point of view its more like dropping off a cliff. The same thing for it's Spanish version, they are really sympathetic to the illegal immigrants.

Right on assessment!!!

I tell my German friends and coworkers that if all I knew about America was what I saw on CNNI I would never want to go there. With that said, I tell them about the USA that I lived in for decades. I then watch the gears turning as they realize someone (me or CNNI) is lying! I wonder who?

BTW, whenever one of them goes to America on business or vacation they come back with an entirely different viewpoint than the press (US and European) has pumped into their head of mush all their life.

Amen. CNN has made a career of trashing the U.S.A. in their CNN International programming. Most Americans aren't aware of it though.
