Starmer's resignation and the Americanisation of British media | American Reacts

Great...more fun news for an immigrant in the UK...

There is A LOT to unpack about this story and I'm sure we will get more info in coming days. But let me do what I do, and jump online quick to talk about the role of the media in influencing British politics in this moment.

I have complaints about Sir Kier Starmer's premiership and areas where I think he's screwed up. But I also think that we were trending in the right direction under him.

This video is not about roasting the man, it's about the media environment in which we consume British politics. I'd argue that British media has become badly "americanised" due to structural incentives around business and attention. And I'd argue that this is terrible not just for Britain but for democracy. Walk with me.
