Does this apply to (political) news as well?

And ... is this also how other nations perceive British TV, like Brits do the USs TV?
(And in turn USA TV like an unfocused ferengi ad campaign that is absolutely 100% into selling whatever is on screen, regardless of facts or even if it needs selling at all, just bcs the selling itself, the up-in-your-face marketing attitude is expected or the program just isn't deemed serious bcs they obviously aren't trying enough?)

Im really saddened when really good (British too) documentaries use more and more fake sounds added in, just because (its cool, nice & pleasant even, but not the raw data I want to heart & learn how that actually sounds). Especially in cases where there is og sound to be heard. And they blend both interchangeably so it's even harder to tell.

Even worse are the semi-serious documentaries that have experts explain stuff, simplified but still accurate, then followed by some other 'for TV scientists' (not from that field) that retell the same thing, but with a few wild assumption added in and at least slightly imprecise (but no new information otherwise).

However, I also hugely sympathise with everyone involved, from field experts that researched & often documented the thing, down to someone writing the script just to stand helplessly and listen how someone else completely rewrites it 'to be more interesting'. And knowing that it has to be done this way to get the thing even produced and out to the public.
