BBC America TV is running wall-to-wall coverage of the events related to Pakistan

[Bozita]

Regular programming has been pre-empted.

Coverage is superior to that of CNN and MSNBC.

8. Me, too.

Sane coverage rather than uninformed speculation.

2. i have bbc america on right now, their news coverage is always better imo

it's news for people who actually read.

5. Of course the coverage is superior to that of CNN and MSNBC.

You and me standing on a street corner in Karachi with a cheap video recorder and a toy microphone from Radio Shack would provide better coverage than those tools at CNN and MSNBC (never mind Pox Snooze).

12. The spokesmodels at CNN and MSNBC are frantically

googling "Pakistan wikipedia" to try and figure out where Pakistan is and who Bhutto was. They're hoping to God she was a distant cousin of Britney Spears.

6. far, FAR superior

to what the MSM is running in America. The American Talking Heads all look like students caught in the headlights who forgot to do their homework and are bluffing their way through it, hoping no one will notice. The BBC people seem calm, relaxed, well-informed and -- the real kicker for me -- Bill Schneider and his horrible fur hat are nowhere to be seen.

10. Thank you so much! Real journalism at last!

14. Is the coverage over?

I just put on BBCA and it was showing Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares

15. Regular programming returned at noon.
