Britain - More UK Media Watchers

Welcome to The American Expatriate Blog, which is written by Scott Callahan, an American living in London, who, like me is dedicated to countering the misinformation about America being spread by the British media - especially the BBC.

You can read Scott's Mission Statement here. Here is a snippet.

My primary aim with this site is to document and counter the misinformation about America that regularly flows forth from the British media. The quotation at the top of this site is a perfect illustration not only of the caricatured picture of America that elite British journalists themselves maintain, but also of how unabashed they are in pushing that caricature on to their audience. Americans are often presumed by foreigners to be provincial and uninterested in the rest of the world, which is supposed to contrast with a much more curious and much better informed British public. I don't know if they are particularly more curious, but better informed they certainly are not, at least not if they are relying on the British media, and in particular the state-funded BBC, for their knowledge about America. Hopefully I can demonstrate why that is the case.

Welcome aboard, Scott. We need all the help we can get.

Scott's blog is blogrolled on the left under "UK Media Watch". Pay him a visit, he already has several good posts up and he's only been posting a week!

Good luck Scott.
