Cheney X: Vote Republican

This whole Cheney X thing is a whole load of crap. The first thing that a big X reminds me of is the cross I make when voting. So CNN were actually telling people to vote Republican!

A few years ago I was watching Channel 4 and the words ‘FOOTBALL ITALIA’ scrolled across the screen in the standard trailer endboard style. Just like that, for no reason, in the middle of a programme. Football Italia wasn’t even due to start for months at the time. These things happen. They’re called “technical glitches”.

Foreign coverage

The Liberal Dissenter has a post about CNN’s coverage of the London attacks.

I’ve only got Freeview, so I don’t have CNN, and I’ve probably watched a total of about five minutes of CNN International, or whatever it’s called, in my lifetime. Sounds like it’s just as well.

On Thursday night I watched ABC’s World News Tonight With Peter Jennings (without Peter Jennings) — BBC News 24 shows it every day at 1:30am. They said that one of the bombs exploded in Liverpool.

The problem with tittering at foreign media outlets, though, is that the BBC probably makes similar mistakes from time to time aswell…
