    Kind of. At least it used to. When I was doing offshore rotation little over a decade ago, we had two news channels onboard. BBC vs CNN. I remember them having the exact same difference in style, and CNN annoyed the fuck out of me.

    “Knock off the CGI, I just want to learn what’s up with the Chilean miners, or what this new terrorist organization in the middle east is”.

    I had a discussion with a coworker about this during commercial break, where I argued that BBC had more actual substance, where he argued for CNNs ability to make it more entertaining. Guess the nationality of my coworker.
