About 20 years ago, I was thrilled that our local NPR affiliate added the BBC News to its late evening format. It was wonderful to catch the world news with a British accent.
Over time, I find myself turning off the BBC because it is a bastion for mindless anti-Americanism. In fact, I close my eyes and ears to anything that is related to the BBC.
Don't get me wrong. I can handle criticism of the US. We are not perfect.

The BBC is beyond criticism. It is unfair and unbalanced.
I recall watching a BBC TV report from Baghdad. It showed a neighborhood allegedly destroyed by a US bombing raid. Later, we learned that the damage was done by Iraqi agents killing innocent people.
The bad news is that the BBC has gone off the charts.
The good news is that we are not the only ones screaming about it:
"At the secret meeting in London last month, which was hosted by veteran broadcaster Sue Lawley, BBC executives admitted the corporation is dominated by homosexuals and people from ethnic minorities, deliberately promotes multiculturalism, is anti-American, anti-countryside and more sensitive to the feelings of Muslims than Christians.

One veteran BBC executive said: 'There was widespread acknowledgement that we may have gone too far in the direction of political correctness.
'Unfortunately, much of it is so deeply embedded in the BBC's culture, that it is very hard to change it.' (
We are biased, admit the stars of BBC News )It's time to clean up the BBC. Let's make it the BBC that I loved over the years. Let's make it British again!
