BBC and Barack - Eddie Barnes

Like most people, I instinctively turn to the Beeb for big events like the Obama inauguration, but after the waffle-fest which we endured yesterday, I'm not so sure.
Apart from an excellent background documentary about Obama's rise to power presented by Clive Myrie on BBC 2, I waited in vain for some decent analysis of the day's events. All we seemed to get were dozens of reporters running around the Mall asking people "did you ever think you'd see this day?" (three cheers to the black guy who said "yes") and a stream of guff from the supposed in-house experts as they sought to fill in time. Even the Great Paxo was reduced at one point to asking some random academic: "Did you cry?"

I suppose I would say this wouldn't I, but if you want some good analysis of yesterday's events, buy a newspaper.
