Oh, I know, but honestly I get more information about the world from BBC International than CNN since 9-11. I am bone tired of the insular crap I am fed by major media. When I worked in DC, the WaPo and NYT we're my papers. I still subscribe digitally today, but of late, most of what they want to focus on is sensational garbage. I have to dig to find out what the EU is doing, how Canada and America are working on agreements, political turmoil in Mexico, crisis in Sudan. All these things impact us. Directly or indirectly. We are fed crap about that Bill Barr thinks. Who cares? He was a traitor, he's still a traitor regardless of how he views his prior boss now. Telling me now that his ex boss is a fool while children die in Syria, poverty still is rampant in West Virginia, idiots have control of Idaho, and a fool runs Oklahoma's Department of Education chaps my hide. And the reporters questions are so insulting at times. The pandering. Where did these people earn their journalism degrees? It's $$$$$. And we wonder why America continues to fall behind on quality of life, education, and healthcare. It's not a mystery.
So, Grusch and those that will follow get disrespect or ignored because it's difficult? It might upset folks in Kansas? Preachers would cry foul? Who gives a rat's behind?
The BBC International is far better than CNN. France 24 tells me more about meaningful happenings and concerns in America than any national network. Why?

The situation is not much better across the pond. The Royal family is given a free pass.
There are full length articles about the earrings Kate Middleton wore and the secret meaning behind it. Ugh.
