    Thanks for posting. That was considerably more balanced than some of the UK media and had interviews longer than 20 second soundbites.

    PBS in the US generally has a good reputation - far more so than our own media. Similarly, seeking out and listening to NPR is worthwhile and of course, there's always This American Life.

    IIRC, isn't Malcolm Brabant ex-BBC?

    “Can they make it? I think they can, I think they can” was a nice little nod to the Rev. Awdry!
