Hmm, guess what nation reads more books per citizen than any other nation?? Additionally the same on newspapers.. However, one way of getting the US-news before the US-toilet-papers and additionally covering the US books is, obviously, CSPAN and their own, free-copyrights, production and then the not-so-free-copyrights affiliate. (the difference is mainly in the archiving) booknotes.org booktv.org One way to skip the other book-club things of maybe more popular and well advertised attempts How many links do you want on these two?? Considering that CSPAN has the greates archives of both the US congress, president and all that jazz plus their own production, and one of the earliest to start moving it all to the internet as well as server hard disks, just because they are the anti-thesis to the rest of the US media. (and blessed by the US gvrmnt, and original funding was just $25,000 by a guess-what)

Plus the support of the US National Press Club.. and maybe the dream of Nixon of even fewer republican think-thank-tanks than exist today. Obviously the french could have never implemented all of this, but on the other hand they never had the absolute need for it. Who knows, maybe even BBC will recover from their Irish, other colonial problems and now the dodgy-poodle-Blair?? (lets hope that not too many spies will be found working within BBC as earlier, or the other way around)
