BBC Looks at Anti-Americanism, Flying Pig in Hangar

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.
