Do tell

Can someone please explain to me why this nation’s media outlets report the American Election Circus as though it were our own? We don’t hear about the French elections, nor the German, nor indeed, anywhere else’s, so why America’s? Why would anyone in this country give a fuck what John McCain’s just said, who Barack Obama’s just touched, or whether either of them have bastard lovechildren?

The only thing worth reporting, the only fact that is in any way of interest to this nation, is who is eventually elected because, beyond the foreign policies of whichever party ascends to the Whitehouse, nothing else matters and no one else cares.

Obviously it’d be nice if they didn’t elect another right-wing fuckwit, but I’m not going to hold my breath.

    I have been muttering these very thoughts in my head over the last few weeks. It worries me that our media take so much interest and I would like to know how many are tuning in to this hype. I do hope we are not in awe of them.

    Anyway, you are mean’t to be riding free in Yorkshire, drinking Yorkshire Tea, eating Yorkshire Fat Rascals :) and not thinking about our buddies across the pond.
