It looks as if those polls showing that 95% of the people in Britain thought America was like Nazi Germany only without the orderly queues were a bit... off. Or at least there are some people in England who are sick of the anti-Americanism that apparently permeates the BBC's current programming.

Posted by Andrea Harris at February 23, 2003 01:11 AMI couldn't agree more with your sentiment, but pedantic hairsplitter that I am, I have to point out that the "C" in BBC now stands for "Corporation," not "Company." It was changed some time in the 1920's or 30's, I believe.

Posted by: Craig Ranapia at February 23, 2003 at 04:16 PMHate to say it, but is 400 phone calls really all that impressive?
Posted by: Dean Esmay at February 23, 2003 at 08:49 PMDean, when was the last time you dialed up a TV network to complain about their coverage?
If ABC got 400 calls complaining about their coverage of this issue, you can bet they'd sit up and take notice. Peter Jennings would rush right out to the set for a special break-in where he would sneer at all the two-year-olds that vote in American elections.
But they would take notice.
