 RetweetBBC Looks at Anti-Americanism, Flying Pig in Hangar

Thu, Apr 12, 2007 at 10:49:16 am PDT

Nearly a flying pig moment here, as a three-part BBC radio series actually critiques anti-Americanism: ‘Death to US’: Anti-Americanism examined. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

The US is perceived by many as an international bully, a modern day imperial power. At this critical moment in history, Washington correspondent Justin Webb challenges that idea.

He argues anti-Americanism is often a cover for hatreds with little justification in fact. His three part series takes him to Cairo, Caracas and Washington but it begins where anti-Americanism began - in Paris.

It really would be flying pig-worthy if the BBC turned that critique on themselves; because they are without a doubt one of the biggest promoters of anti-Americanism in the world.

It began with lyrics, but even looking at the PMRC fund raising letter in the last paragraph, at the bottom of the page, it starts looking like it's branching into other areas when it says 'We realize that this material's pervaded other aspects of society' and it's like 'What, you gonna fix it all for me?'
