I am so angry about the dismal or nonexistent coverage by US media that I decided to post every last set of remarks by the Democrats that I could find on BBC Live Updates.

Our representatives in Congress deserve to be heard.

Now we listen to Free Press beyond our borders. I am glad there is so much out there for us.

To many here are clinging to Old Media and getting propagandized, and then dumping their negativity on the rest of us.

after they showed a brief clip of the Dems' press conference, and she asked why the Dems can't find their voice. That's all they will give the Dems: twenty seconds of coverage and then a pained expression and signaling that they are powerless.

BBC America is a thing. I'd say their broadcast reach is impressive and puts US corporate media to shame.

If you have Pluto or Sling, you can get it without a subscription.

BBC America sadly these days is just a BBC branded channel ran by AMC.

But wasn't my idea! I had subscribed to Sling for a while, and having BBC News Channel in their lineup was a main reason why I got them. Then BBC Studios (the commercial arm of the BBC) only went ahead and worked with their US partner AMC to launch a series of BBC Branded free ad supported Streaming TV channels. And also made BBC News free to stream.

Screenshot of my phone showing the Pluto app.



And on the Sling app.



Press release from BBC.

And though I can't show it on my TV since other folks are using it, here's a snapshot of my tablet....after googling Pluto TV BBC News and hitting the relevant link. No app needed for Pluto, streams right in the browser..



If you look closely you'll see DU on one of the tabs lol...

BBC World Service News is on SiriusXM channel 120. This channel provides breaking news from around the world.
You can listen to BBC World Service News on SiriusXM in your car or online.
You can also listen to BBC radio in the US using the BBC Sounds app or by visiting bbc.com/sounds. The BBC Sounds app is available on devices running Amazon Fire 6, Android 7, or iOS 15 and above.

I'm really sick of OP's that go negative just because media reality is what it is. Media reality is better for Democratic causes in the next four years than sad folks think. Amplifying division is profitable, but the battle for democracy and government will also be profitable.
