I, for one, have gotten very irritated with a newscast for "skimming" over the top of a story and have to go ferret the darned thing out on the internet (usually via overseas reports) to get the info.


DragonMage, the media doesn't concentrate on such foreign envents precisely because the American public doesn't really care about such events. We are more concerned with who is going to win the next Super Bowl.
