I have to be honest that I have hardly watch UK news since it started as there coverage is patchy to say the least.

I watched a couple of minutes on BBC24 yesterday and nearly throw something at the screen if you think the American press is being biased they have nothing on the BBC. The BBC can get away with it because the majority of British people have no idea of the American system and do not realise that what we would refer to central government in the UK cannot act without permission of the individual States. They can therefore twist and manipulate the broadcast without people being aware of it.

They are saying National Guard took this amount of time because of the lack of personnel due to Iraq and Afghanistan commitment not mentioning that it was not officially asked for until after the hurricane which by then was too late and of course took twice the time to get there.

I therefore have either watched sport on UK TV or FNC.
