Attention whore.
ITN (Independent Television News) is a major news and content provider with headquarters in the United Kingdom.
OP should know goddamn well that not all of Facepunch are Brits or know British television.
Stop assuming that everybody is in your region and know about stuff limited to your region! :argh:
ITN?
Pfff, Sky News is where the shit goes down.
So he walked inside the building, stabbed himself after talking about 'injustice', then got carted out to the local hospital?
Nice.
Oh well, everyone knows any sort of intellectual individual watches BBC News anyway.

First two lines of text that appear when you put "ITN" into wikipedia:

So he didn't google it. He wiki'd it.

my point is that a thread should be informative enough, so people without this insider-information wouldn't have to google it.
I think I'm just excpeting too much of facepunch when I think OPs should be able to think as far as "oh wait, what if non-UK people don't know what ITN stands for or what it is"
seriously, I wouldn't even bitch about it, had he AT LEAST stated that it's a news provider.

I mean I wouldn't start throwing around acronyms around that only German people would know about.
And even if I did, I would think so far as to explain to non-insiders what it means/is.

Insider-information?
The first result when you google it. Literally.
If you don't know what ITN is, then you google it.
I thought this was common sense. Whenever I came across something I didn't understand like an acronym, I google it. If google comes up with nothing, then fine.
Throw around German acronyms then.
Google is fantastic.
wot?
