'Sun' Excited About New BBC Show and Delicious Curries
We were mildly interested in the Sun's article on the new BBC morning-news show designed for U.S. viewers, even though we were also confused about why any of the paper's readers would care about it. (The show, according to the article, will be carried not on Time Warner Cable but on Cablevision, which serves only the Bronx and eastern Brooklyn, and neither known for their large populations of stinking rich neocon Likudniks.) But we were also stopped short by the piece's lead, which focused on the broadcast's London-based anchor:
George Alagiah plans to be in New York every day - without leaving his London base.
It's not astral projection or a flying carpet that he will use for this feat, although either method would be perfectly understandable in view of his South Asian heritage.
Astral projection? Flying carpets? Yes, the Sun reporter is named Prenay Gupte. But, still, are you allowed to say that?
