The American right is getting worked up about BBC America:
Beware, patriots of all hues, you have good reason to be fearful. Like the classic sci-fi movie "The Invasion of the Body-Snatchers," the infecting of America's national psyche has already begun but almost nobody has noticed.
Since its inauguration in 1998, the cable channel BBC America has grown such that by July 2004 it was available in 40 million U.S. homes, and it's growing further. In January 2006 the BBC announced a deal with Discovery to bring its 24-hour news channel, BBC World News, to every American home.
The rest of the world gets a load of your rubbish so why complain about getting some actual decent tv? At least we report on things outside of our own state!
Personally I'm worried about the Americanization of the world. But thats just me.
