| 740707 | 2009-01-21 03:20:00 | Just remember that the US's economy is so big that it affects us as well, and most of the world. ;) | pcuser42 (130) | ||

| 740709 | 2009-01-21 03:36:00 | Yup, it's pretty much the same every night. :p Unless there's something especially important, I normally mute the TV until the international news comes on. :) It's surprising, though, how much international news does not seem to reach our screens.:illogical Deutche Welle (Triangle in Auckland) broadcasts a very good international bulletin at 7pm and you can really see and hear what is going on in the rest of the world.:) |

| 740710 | 2009-01-21 04:33:00 | How many got up at 5-30am to watch it live on TV, not me. Saw my 10 mins worth on the TV at lunch which was enough. :) I did, totally worth it. And I'm with Roscoe, DW is fantastic. Thank God I dont have to watch TV1 or TV3 news. Probably the worst in the world. |

Al Jazeera and the PBS Newshour are really good too. :) Edit: Is triangle on satellite vhf uhf? Analogue and satellite. Its a shame it isn't on digital terrestrial yet. :( |

| 740715 | 2009-01-21 06:41:00 | Same applies here in New Zealand. How many Whites attended: Tuheitia Paki king of New Zealand's Maori people coronation. Lurking. Well, that's fair enough, it's a Maori thingie :D |

| 740716 | 2009-01-21 06:58:00 | We lived in Pasadena, California for a few years and despaired of getting any international news. Everything on TV was about California or perhaps the US, but little outside the US. Then we found this channel KTLA Channel 5 who had a program called "The World at 10". It was a news program about...... yes, solely Los Angeles news! Everytime they went off for an ad break, they would say "The World at 10 will be back in a moment". And they'd come back with more news about LA. But when you think about it, the LA area has a population of 15 million or so, and for many of its inhabitants, LA IS the world. Very little of what happens outside LA affects them, so why would they be interested? They're a pretty insular bunch, Americans. |
