Where? I live here and don't see this. Over here, you get the story about guns and such, but this knife garbage would make it into anything i have read in the last 3 or 4 years. |
Human interest, cats up trees, Paris Hilton. Soft news is all over the place, on all outlets in all countries. though.

It is the way it is reported and the choice of stories.

Want to go through it? Your previous example wasn't very convincing (read - not at all). And why is it OK for you to misrepresent the BBC?

The BBC is filled with this kind of crap. That is the point. We don't need this over here. They can pack up and go and I won't shed a tear.

You
have this crap over here, you probably don't watch it.
There is lots of excellent content on the BBC News website. Poke around for a few minutes, Features & Analysis is worth a look, Matt Frei's column is great, also the Editor's Blog.
