Quite frankly, the BBC world news in Italy is crap.
Pro business, politically vague, I learned nothing concerning the debate between Edwards & Cheney other than "no one seemed to take off the gloves" and that the debate "shouldn't have an impact on the upcoming election."

So, what did I really miss?

2. The BBC World coverage
I heard on the radio after Thursday night's debate was also pretty shallow. They kept calling it a tie.

In reality Kerry handed Bush's ass to him.

This debate wasn't the same blowout as the other night's, but Edwards held up well against Cheney. He called out Cheney's record at one point and brought up Halliburton as well. Overall I'm quite pleased.

4. BBC World has turned to shit ever since Blair attacked the BBC.
They have become as boring as Fox is dishonest. As you said, all business news all the time. Who needs it?
