You will occasionally come across TV reports of "foreign

UK TV News isn't a lot better.
But it's incomparably better than American tv news.
That's not difficult. :-)
BBC TV main news often only contains a few items.

Then it goes on to BBC regional news for whatever UK region viewers
in Britain live in.

I've never seen BBC UK news, national or regional, refer to any UK
events/news as "foreign news".

And I've never seen US news refer to out-of-state stories as foreign -
I've lost track - who claimed to have seen this?
