The British media is sinking down, as the American news media has lowered the bar for all of humanity. British news media is definitely trying to stoop down to that level. Everyone is stooping to the lowest common denominator.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's so much cynicism around in Britain, especially in the press. The American press might be naive, but at least you feel as if they're on your side.
Sometimes the British press is maybe a little bit racist.
The British press has been unfair to me and the public has followed.
From where many of us in the U.K. sit, American politics is hopelessly polarized. All kinds of issues get bundled up into two great heaps. The rest of the world, today and across the centuries, simply doesn't see things in this horribly oversimplified way.
The British press are a group of unremitting scumbags. And sometimes they use that scumbaggery to good ends, and often not.
We have to take risks in British television. It has to stop playing to the lowest common denominator and patronising people.
The media is really failing the American people.
The American press has the blues. Too many authorities have assured it that its days are numbered, too many good newspapers are in ruins.
Britain is still seen as a beacon for decency, for democracy, for vigorous judges upholding the rule of law and, dare I say it, a free press. I respect the press in theory, but when you see some of the things it writes about you, it's not exactly a happy relationship.
Britain is undoubtedly becoming more cultural. No question of it. People who say it is dumbing down simply don't look around enough. They don't know enough.
