Another day, another piece of BBC bias

The BBC hate America, mainly because the American public seem to keep voting (in BBC think) for nasty warmongering NeoCon Republicans rather than for nice peace loving Democrats. So any opportunity to denigrate anything American is often taken, last week we had the story that Gisele Bündchen "is said to be keen to avoid the US currency because of uncertainty over its strength", a story later proved to be erroneous. Today the BBC report that "Foreign tourists to many of India's most famous landmarks will no longer be able to pay the entrance fee in dollars, the government says. The ruling is aimed at safeguarding tourism revenues following the recent falls in the dollar. Until now, foreign tourists to sites such at the Taj Mahal have had the option of paying in dollars or rupees."

You can almost hear the glee...


There is also this story that "in an apparent nod to the low value of the dollar, rapper Jay-Z's new video Blue Magic features another currency. He is seen cruising the streets of New York in Bentleys and Rolls Royces (now owned by Germany's Volkswagen and BMW) with a briefcase of 500 euro notes...The US currency has been ticking off historic lows over the past few months as falling US interest rates make other currencies more attractive...Other more conventional market-watchers have also been snubbing the dollar, including the billionaire investor Warren Buffett."

"Snubbing", I think you can hear the glee...
