I heard yesterday that the BBC now rivals CNN in the USA… I wonder why?

Yeah, I go to CNN to read the propaganda and see what FOX's competition has
to say about things.  I go to the BBC for something approximating the truth.

The real problem is how most americans just don't do ANY digging for the
truth.  If it's not on the evening news on TELEVISION, most people will

Americans know how to read they do not avail themselves of important
information.
