2. bbc is really different from US tv, not just the news. Actors are older, less 'pretty'
folks in romance stories who'd never be allowed on US tv. Amazing.

3. Enjoy it before our BBC-hating Tories manage to cut and gut it!

6. I agree. The BBC is not as bold or independent as it once was.
They seems stifled now.

4. Also CommonDreams.org
and The Progress Report http://pr.thinkprogress.org/

I listen to BBC on public radio at night, and they actually cover real news and report things in depth.
