“49. Mary Jackson:
56.2 million Brits
60 million. And Stephen Fry isn’t “critiquing” the US, he is loving it.
Not that you’ve seen the programme. Not that any of you ignorant Americans actually know what you’re talking about.”

Mary, who are you? Why do you care so much? People aren’t on here to discuss that stupid program in particular, it’s a bigger issue. And that is anti-Americanism in the UK which runs so deep today its crippling your nation. I’ve been there, saw it, experienced it, was scared to death by it quite honestly. I read newspapers on line from all over the world. The UK media portrays a US that I never see, even in the worst of areas, worse than Al Jazeera and even worse than the New York Times! The true ignorance comes from the UK where people think they are experts on US culture based on watching “Law and Order”, Bonanza reruns, and horrible cheap BBC “documentaries” about people who allegedly love the US.
