Why do British people think other people care about their inconsequential domestic shit? While browsing the BBC website I saw an article with the headline.

"David Dimbleby injured by bullock"

Seriously? WTF? Try to brand yourself a global news site and you have some bullshit about a guy I’ve never heard about. Thank god here in America we have a global outlook and all the news isn’t about fucking nobodies.

Yeah, thank god.

yawn, someone let the troll out from under the bridge. It reminds me of what i think was monkey island one where you had to bribe it to go away or something. Anyone got any meth handy?

Whilst there will be some focus on other worldy things, there will always be a primary focus on things that happen in this country, it's only natural. Trust me if you actually watched some american news channels that we have here, you'd wonder if they were all up their own arses in self-importance.

The main headline on British news is that some no name TV presenter got gored by a bull.

The main headline on CNN is about Barack Obama, you know someone who is actually important.

USA > UK as far as importance of news then.

Na the difference here is that no one give's a fuck about politics so they just write about random shit.

I'm sorry but I have to, HAVE TO reply to this. I'm usually ALWAYS complaining about the news here in the US. IMO, it sucks so bad bc they're always talking about the same senseless shit. The Gosselin crap was even on CNN, and if an 'event' happens, i'll look at my dad (inside joke on the news) & we both laugh bc we KNOW they're going to rerun that news for at LEAST a month.. Apart from the fact that a random kid in Minnesota saved a puppy, Michelle Obama has roots to slavery (no shit), & that Britney Spears has lost 25 lbs, never do I see the same news running as I do on BBC or Euronews.
When I watched Euronews, they RARELY add any 'pop culture' news into their segment, unless it's a death or something else, rarely.. They show the shit that's going down in Mexico, guerrilla warfare in Africa, & they very well choose to be objective on their news. Never, do they 'crack funny jokes' on air with each other, which I never find funny & I loathe so much for the American news anchors to do. All the celebrity, nonsense news goes straight to their designated programs AFTER the news.. I know, Euronews shows weird videos or segments even in an are called 'No Comment'.. they don't even say anything about it, they just show it to you. I prefer getting an unbiased full view of worldly news (not just americafuckyeah news & more shit about the 'war' and soldiers) than the shit I have to view here in the US.

But anyway, that's just my 2 cents, I think it's a matter of preference. As far as the BBC article on the website, I don't really mind, because if you read it it's because you choose to click on it & bother to give a shit, but I doubt that would hit their news on TV.

You are aware that the BBC promotes itself as an international news organisation and runs programming specific to regions of the world? Somehow I doubt you would respond in this way if someone said that CNN was too insular. Clearly you don't know that both networks are promoted in very similar ways and are thrown by what 'BBC' stands for.

In the world of 'LIRA' it is trolling to expect something other than news about CABLE NETWORKS on cnn - because after all CNN stands for cable news network and things must literally only cover what they are named exactly after. BBC cover something other than what happens on some tiny islands? That's silly according to LIRALOGIC™.

bbc is a piece of shit. They force us to pay a license fee if we have a tv in our houses, therefore even if you don't watch a single programme of theirs, you pay £140ish a year for the 'right' to have 'free' television. They then spend the money on idiot presenters contracts, ethnic networks which encourge disintegration rather than the opposite and the most mindnumbingly boring but self-inflated-egotistical sports commentators ever.
