It's like Kent Brockmann's "My Two Cents".

Wouldn't it be interesting if this sort of thing was allowed on British TV news programmes?

Hyoo on the 6'o'clock nyoos informing us about asylum-seekers, and then encouraging us to "send 'em all back" after the report?

Although the patronising, emotive and suggestive delivery of the ITN newsreaders and reporters is a step closer to this approach than the BBC.
