Wouldn't it be Dahn-suh-ree-kee? Or is the 'n' silent or something? :P

Whoa.
Forgot the n.
Dan or dahn, Dahn's formal but sounds like a douche of a word to me.
And no, I've always explained it like that.

That just gives me a headache.

Edit: Woo, 2.5k posts.
This.
That was in 2007. The BBC India has already been launched. Mostly, it is world news but you do have country specific (actually South Asia specific) news at particular times.

BBC is the best. I don't like CNN that much. Possibly because every time I switch to it, it shows American news. Even local stuffs, which is irritating since I don't understand most of it.

I am. You're just as horrified as Sent.
I'm not political, not anymore, I'm tired of all of it. So, I go there for general news.
It's not like I record Glenn Beck and O'Reilly every night.
That's dad.

No, no there is CNN International. I get that. And BBC World News. While BBC shows a lot of international news, CNN shows a lot of American local news.

Yes. That was my point.

Even though it's international, their focus is always on American News. Think of it as America sharing its media internationally.

Even if there's something important that's far away from the US, they always somehow manage to tie it in with the US....

Well, that's not exactly limited to American shows. Ever seen our media's Oscar coverage? S'always full of them stretching to find Canadian connections to everything. :P
