Having just traveled to London, I made an interesting observation: the BBC news app shows/headlines for more British news when I’m in England, while flooding me with predominantly US news when I’m home.

1 of the worst outcomes of the UK and US sharing language is UK institutions (BBC/Guardian), celebrities etc realise that the US is the big market for them and so position themselves accordingly. As a result the BBC and Guardian and other become obsessed with the tawdry domestic politics of the US

Which totally defeats the point of me reading the BBC news: I am looking for international news which doesn’t get much, if any, air time in the US. I don’t need the BBC’s echo chamber version of the US’s mass media outlets.
