Over in England we had a lot of TV programmes about September, most of them not bad.

But there were enough of them that weren't good, that came across as cheap and manipulative, to give me a feeling of why some people might feel fed up with TV coverage and so forth if that was what was filling your screens in the USA.

As you say, like any place, musimmic, America has its faults and warts. But surely just because people love their country does that mean they don't want to mend those faults and mustn't criticise the warts?
