    Another kick in the shorts by the msm. This time it's just silly:

    In its weather reports for North America, the BBC gives the temps in eight cities, four on the East Coast (Montreal, New York, Atlanta, Miami) and four on the West Coast (Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles).

    Do you see a pattern here? Missing from their reports are the 3rd, 4th, and 5th largest metro areas in the U.S. (Chicago, Dallas, and Houston, respectively). Also missing is Toronto, which is Canada's largest metro area.

    This is not an issue of war and peace. Let's just call it a "micro-aggression" against us in the middle of the country. It illustrates how the elites think. And they still wonder why Trump won ...

    1. Don't care about weather in Toronto, it's not in the US
    2. I thought y'all didn't like Chicago, a liberal town, hardly "flyover" country.

    Geography. Look it up.

    I'm a native of NYC. I grew up in two places: NYC and Chicago. I know a little about both places.

    New Yorkers think of Chicago as part of flyover country. They think there's nothing west of Manhattan until you reach SF or LA.

    I don't care how YOU feel about Toronto and Canada. This isn't about YOU. It's about how one of our networks operates.

    It's BBC America, not the BBC. It's programming is created for North America.

    I still think it's a good thing as long as the left ignores the majority of the country they won't get the majority of votes.

    Why were you watching BBC America? Did you run out of paint to watch dry?

    I thought Philadelphia was America's 5th largest, fact, I know it is.
    Dallas is 9th.

    Flyover country rules the US by decree of the electoral college, disenfranchising voters in the metro areas and suburbs. And you still bitc* and moan. You'd call someone like this a snowflake.

    The weather mapping is hit or miss in UK domestic maps.
    Sometimes Croydon's on the map, sometimes Barnstaple's on the map...
    I wonder if these places are selected at random, or because of weather, or if it's on rotation and places get highlighted when it's their turn?

    It's always a dry heat in England.
    But this June is dry as dust.
    My lawn's green thanks to this lawn feed, and everyone else's has turned yellow...
    But the soil, it's so dry.

    England has a dry heat, never ever very rarely like once a year is it humid on this dry heated rock.

    I doubt most on this board would get that one. I did, but found it cringe-y rather than funny.

    Do you believe that the BBC covered for Jimmy Saville for decades?

    Oh, yes, absolutely they did. But the subject isn't funny, it's cringe-worthy. It's like Hitler jokes while the ovens are still warm.

    I'm still wondering if BBC America showed Philadelphia and why OP left Philadelphia out but included Dallas.

    I'm not like other boys lol.

    IDK, just say Bill Cosby, and they'd get it.

    Is there a button on the site to ditch the SJW leftist bullsh*t? I understand I'll only have access to their good programs that are worth watching made many years ago but it's a price I'm willing to pay.

    After all the f*ckers make me pay for TV a license I don't use to fund a biased rhetoric I disagree with, whilst happily covering for whoever they are told to this week.

    As a kid I remember being proud of the BBC but those days are gone RIP Britain :(



    Sadly it really was better in the old days how life becomes a stereotype lol.

    BBC Two is good.


    Every time I see a TV show about our emergency services, I feel propaganda on my state TV.
    Every time I see a TV show about debt collectors, I feel propaganda on my state TV.
    Watch BBC News, it's the same, propaganda on my state TV trooping of the colours fly my flag watch my army happy birthday Her Majesty.

    I miss Top of the Pops even if it was mimed in the end.

    Red Dwarf, a moment of pure genius!

    BBC2 was better than BBC1 mostly, C4 was good and ITV was just sh*te.
