“ But while British Tories share elements of the U.S. conservatives’ analysis of foreign-policy threats, domestically their paths have diverged. David Cameron’s “progressive Tories” bear little resemblance to the Republican Party of Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee. Increasingly, British Tories wonder what has happened to their American relatives. It’s as if your favorite cousin had a nervous breakdown, found religion, and became an evangelist for an apocalyptic cult prophesying the imminent end of the world as we know and love it. ”

Whenever possible, I love to get my news through a foreign lens- whether it’s the BBC, Al Jazeera English, or the CBC. It’s often refreshing to hear the what outsiders are seeing and thinking, and the destabilizing American media biases are often less powerful whether commercial or political.
This piece I read at TheDailyBeast describes a foreigners perspective to the Glenn Beck Show, which is now available in England due to Rupert Murdoch’s (FOX) media presence in the U.K.
