I think America affects England more then the other way around so we don't really get english news. On the brightside we're so conceited that we don't get news from any foreign countries, so don't feel bad.

We don't get the BBC, if that's what you mean. Now that I live in Germany I do get the BBC, and to be honest I don't think I was ever missing anything.

Unfortunately, news about the UK specifically tends to happen only during the big stuff, like the London subway bombings, hosting the Olympics, etc. I do wish more UK news would find its way into American newscasts. But the media seems more willing to report on stupid celeb news than on actual international news.
