Excuse me BBC News, but...

On your news website, is it really necessary for US politics to be the biggest news story and taking up almost the entirety of the main home page?

Is there nothing going on anywhere else in the entire world?

Does anyone else think we really don't need this much information about elections going on in a foreign country? Or does anybody find US politics really interesting?

There is a case to be made that reporting on Cop27 as if it were important allows politicians to fool us that they care by flying around the world to make speeches whilst doing sod all. But that’s probably for a different thread.

I know what you mean, but the news is supposed to be just that. News. I don't want the news channels to decide what to broadcast based on whether they think it is important or not (or indeed whether they think that we should think it is important). I just want them to tell us that x happened today or that y person said this and z person said something else. You know, imparting actual facts. They seem to have forgotten the distinction between 'News' and 'Current Affairs'.
Perhaps I hope for too much.
