Watching the way the rest of the world sees the US makes it a little easier to see the inanity of so much US political news coverage. (And likewise that of any other country's local political news, as covered by outside sources).
- alex_c 18y agoI was watching the live feed on the BBC News website. It wasn't great, but I don't think I could've survived watching CNN instead.
- delackner 18y agoIndeed, I tuned into CNN's live feed around when Ohio was getting called, and I was welcomed by first a few minutes of nonstop ads (for CNN no less), then a room full of people having "deep thoughts" about nothing in particular. This is the station I watched, riveted, during the first iraq war?! Sad.
- DanielBMarkham 18y agoAbsolutely. Here's a good site I brought up a while back. It covers hundreds of foreign-language media and translates some of their material into English. http://watchingamerica.com/News/ http://watchingamerica.com/News/
