Of Musharraf and Jolie
It's amazing how little the difference between UK and US TV...Rupert Murdoch is ascendant (the first time I turned on the TV, "The Simpsons" was on). But there are some subtle differences.
For instance, this morning on BBC1, the blow dried ones looked very much like they could be on GMA or The Today Show, and yet, in a story you might expect to find on those shows -- on Attention-deficit disorder and whether medication works -- they actually were still talking about it after I'd taken a shower and shaved. No ADD there, unlike how it might be covered on a US morning program.
And even on Skynet, Rupert's baby, the nightly news program's coverage of a Musharraf news went on for 10-15 minutes rather than the requisite 30 seconds you'd expect in the U.S. That said, they segued from that to at least 20 minutes of live coverage of Brad and Angelina arriving at the London opening of "Beowulf," with detailed analysis of Grendel's mother's "nudity" in the flik.
