    Americans - don't you have to love them?

    From Time (TIME!) magazine
    NEWS AND INFORMATION
    BY MARYANNE MURRAY BUECHNER

    We'll stay away from most of the major news organizations; you probably already have those Websites bookmarked. Instead, here are some less obvious links, including an encyclopedia of how-to advice and a Hollywood hot sheet, a lie detector and a blog-sifter, all guaranteed to keep you in the know.


    BBC.co.uk

    This terrific source for war and other world news has other sections worth exploring: BBC Sport offers comprehensive coverage of sports around the globe (including such pursuits as rugby and cricket) plus a snazzy Virtual Replay interactive video tool (Macromedia's Shockwave Player required) so you can experience the winning goal from a variety of angles. In Science & Nature, you'll find a boatload of material about the human body and mind illustrated by top-notch graphics. Study the Nervous System, take the Senses Challenge or play the Skeleton game.

    Speechless :eek:

    Mike.

    They just can't help but prove how insular they really are.

    Meh, they also list Google News and PBS. So a lot of Americans may not visit the BBC news website for their daily news. How many British visit CNN for theirs?

    They said they were staying away from "most of the major news organisations", and then give details about the BBC. I would imagine most Britons would know CNN as a major news organisation.

    aidan_walsh If the article was first published in the Boise Observer I'd buy that argument.
