What do you think the response would have been if, instead of saying on 
air that the BBC had a rabid anti-Americanism, Fox News had gone to Ofcom 
to get the BBC censured for it?

And for what it's worth, I think there *is* a reflexive anti-Americanism 
at parts of the BBC, at least.  I'm reminded of the blackout last August, 
when the BBCWS's "World Today" program tried to portray what happened in 
New York as "chaos", while Toronto allegedly handled the situation much 
better.  Having listened to both the BBC and New York AM stations, it was 
clear that people in both cities handled things equally well, and there 
wasn't any chaos.
