One of the main ways that the US was traditionally covered in the UK was the "only in America" story - tales which played to the British sense it was a bizarre place where mad people did mad things. The Express had a daily column of such stories. Maybe we should just go back to that framing.
Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?

So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

A Kyiv Harmonia orchestra has created a musical overture titled "Shahed" (russian drone).
It freaked me out because of how believable it is.
