Demagogue

I can watch the BBC channels via satellite, but otherwise I stick to the Dutch ones and the occasional hopeless attempt at watching French TV. To get the other channels from the U.K. and any of the Irish channels, I'd have to get a somewhat illicit subscription to the Dirty Digger's all-powerful Sky service.

But now I might have a reason. Today is the debut of Channel Four's "highbrow" digital channel MoreFour. And, right after the new channel kicks off with the "highbrow" news at 8:00 tonight (British time), they're going to run the best of American news coverage.

That's right: they've picked up The Daily Show.
