 | Hmmm
So is the world only comprised of Iraq and the US or are there not other worthy topics of conversation?

How ethnocentric of us..... Then again explains why a man that had never really dealt with international politics of any kind is our current president.

What more do you expect from such a subserviant media? There are of course, other media outlets discussing problems and issues that would never make mainstream media take notice, perhaps you should read on some of those outlets.

Oh I do, I do not limit my self to just american media and I understand that our current main issue is in Iraq, however as a whole even before the whole "freedom of Iraq" or was that "The search for WMD's" anyway before that whole mess, media coverage of international news in the US is rather pathetic. 9/11 Sadam Hussein did that right?

I suppose it's about what all can fit in one hour spots... Reporting is about competition... getting the latest scoop or edge over the hottest topics... so us consumers will tune into their time slots... chances are, you're not going to get far as a CNN reporter, when you are reporting on Laotian foreign policy decisions of the day when all us media consumers are waiting to hear the next words that come out of Saddam's mouth...
