What the world thinks of America

by billso on Sunday, 29 June 2003

US: From June 17 on the BBC, What the World Thinks of Amer­ica:

Hosted from the Cab­i­net War Rooms in Lon­don, the pro­gramme boasted a panel of qual­ity thinkers, movers and shak­ers, includ­ing for­mer cab­i­net min­is­ter Clare Short, US jour­nal­ist Joe Klein and for­mer Pak­istani pre­mier Benazir Bhutto — a sel­dom con­vened brains trust of world views on America’s pre-eminence.

The entire pro­gram is avail­able on stream­ing video, along with a response piece and a dis­cus­sion forum.

There are some good ideas, although the pro­gram itself seems too, well, Amer­i­can. The focus keeps skip­ping around from poll results to talk­ing heads to cor­re­spon­dents to, well, you get the idea.
