A strange trend is taking place on British television: Opinionated American-style television channels have appeared for the very first time.
Both generally right-leaning in agenda, if you watch Gb News on any given night, you’ll see regular features about so-called “cancel culture” and “wokeism,” as well as a show hosted by the former populist Ukip leader Nigel Farage. Watch “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on TalkTV on any given night and you’ll see rather surreal opening titles consisting of a brain farting out the words “snowflake society,” followed by Fox News-style swooping sound effects and a monologue where Morgan tries to “cancel the cancel culture.”
So why is it all so strange? Well, despite heavy publicity, these shows and channels don’t appear to be resonating with U.K. audiences. “Piers Morgan Uncensored” has consistently shed viewers, from 317,000 overnight viewers on launch day, to less than 60,000 just over two weeks later.

Donald Trump is suing Bill Maher. Maher, making a joke on Leno, said he'd give $5 million to charity if Donald Trump could provide documentation to prove he wasn't the result of his mother mating with an orangutan. Trump sent over his birth certificate, and now is demanding Maher pay up. Or he could be building hype for the new season of Celebrity Apprentice.
As you know, I love Phineas & Ferb. It seems their latest video on YouTube with Dr. Doofensmirtz got some automated closed captioning, and it's comedy gold.
Where I live, giant pickup trucks are kings of the road, and seldom does a day pass when I'm not screaming at some giant lifted pickup truck with exhaust pipes the size of my waist, "Sorry about your penis!" My buddy Brett Berk attempts to convince us that the new generation of trucks aren't just to help you compensate for a deficiency.
