ITN News

I take back what I said about the English bias of ITN news - for today!

ITN national and international news - Tuesday 6 August:

1 NHS – England – no mention that this item doesn’t apply to Scotland

2 Possible terrorist attack – international

3 Online bullying – UK-wide interest

4 Shooting at East Kilbride – local interest – Scotland

5 The economy – UK-wide interest

6 Control of dogs – England & Wales – no mention that this doesn’t apply to Scotland

7 Army murders - USA

8 George Bush operation - USA

9 Snake kills children – Canada

10 Bumper year for English wine - England

A fair stab at being international though not a word about anything happening in Europe. Two UK-wide stories. One item - crime - from Scotland. No attempt to explain if any item applies to England only or to Wales and Northern Ireland and Scotland too. It's as if the UK doesn't really exist!
