Totally agree with original poster , couple of nights ago the lead item on BBC America World News was the suicide of the fashion designer chap , followed by a report of the Nato troop fighting in Afghanistan , followed by the Greek currency problems ..... seems the BBC needs to look at its priorities , also needs to get rid of all these accents as well

Oh hes certainly correct, but to ignore all the important items like "Tiger" Jordan, n the "Fashion Geezer" would offend all the cretins............. that would never do.

There has been a military coup in Nigeria today - not reported here because 'western governments disapprove'.

you can't begin to imagine how much they are NOT telling you
they fill your screens with junk news instead

PS - that was Niger, not Nigeria, and I eventually found a small report on the BBC website

Have you got that one right cashy, his apology was about as sincere as a wet weekend in Brighton, who actually gives a stuff who he's bumping uglies with, he's just sorry he's got caught and made a Prescottian style statement to the chosen few to save face and loads of money from his sponsors
