I’ve always found it amusing listening to BBC News whenever they have guests over debating on controversial issues. I like the fact that the journalists at BBC always ask tough questions and are never satisfied with politically correct answers. U.S. news reporters, in contrast, are always so careful about what they ask and how they ask it. And when they receive an answer that’s not really the answer they asked the question for, they tend to just let it go. Even NPR’s Jim Lehrer sometimes suffers the same problem.
But the Brits, oh no… The Brits will interrupt an interviewee if he wanders off topic and beat him until they gets something they think has answered the core of the question. BBC rocks.
