Welcome to IWETHEY!

New People in the UK are interested in what goes on in the US...
...because even despite your current fuckwit-in-chief and direction of travel, America is the country with which we most share a common(ish) language and culture (soz, Canada and Australia, but frogs and convicts, ya know?). No country in the world is more enthralled (by choice) by the US than the UK.

It may well be that if we shared a language with Germany (or Czechia - they like beer even more than we do!) we'd have much more in common, but we don't, so we don't.

But Fox News is so shit that even the UK, with its unlimited appetite for all things American, can't be arsed to watch it.

Also, actual American news programmes look like British parodies of news programmes. Look up The Day Today on YouTube to see what I mean.

1994, man. Nineteen-ninety fucking four.
New Philip K. Dick in a short story, called them "News Clowns". Long ago that was.
Fortunately, with the likes of PKD, Philip Wylie (in my yout) the various wags with own dictionaries of how Muricans really were/are
... alway there were boffo Mockumentaries on our plight.

cf. "Momism" and Wylie, for just one.

Not that any of these altered the psyches of more than a hand-ful of our tribe. Natch.
The %Unteachables seems to remain ~ the Gravitational Constant of this hubristic bunch.
