how does the bbc manage to avoid this whirlpool of fatuousness so neatly? not at every point, mind you--but the news you will hear on the world service usually tells you more in a segment than cnn or faux news will in weeks on the same issue.
more to the point, why do americans accept this kind of idiocy-as-news? why do not more people turn off their televisions and read or listen to more diverse and credible sources of information? if people recognize that the main american tv news sources are compromised not so much by their "politics" as much as by their commercial nature, why dont they just switch off?
