After all the talk about the BNP on Question Time last night and the bipolarity of opinion it has caused - on which I could write an entire treatise if I could be bothered - I would just like to say that I hate the exclaimation mark. It is a completely superfluous piece of punctuation and should be banned from the English language immediately.

Oh, and given our media, the questions would be really fucking retarded.

That was the fear. Do you have an impartial based media source in the US?

PBS is pretty close. It could be on PBS or NPR (radio) but they tend to be pretty quiet and subdued, they shy away from rowdy stuff.

PBS at least is funded by the CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) which is a public benefit corporation controlled by U.S. Congress. I doubt putting those same people on the spot is helpful to their need for funding.
