I'm sure we can do a swap - you for any one of the SGUK types who want to quit these islands 
US news channels can be hysterical, but have you seen it when Sky or BBC News 24 in the UK try to copy them? You'll be crying tears of laughter when you do. Anyone familiar with The Day Today?
Haven't seen that "you can get CNN in these quality hotels" thing in ages. Have they dropped it?

Hi guys! I just got back from the States and I have a questions:
Why do your 'news' channels try desperately to make every piece of news look like the trailer for an action movie??? They even have Scary Voice-Over Dude doing the narration ("In a World of Terror, America Stands True, etc etc etc ")
One reason: CNN uses military propagandists in the newsroom.
Peace,
