That's terrible. We don't have a lot of US news coverage here in the UK - unless it is something that would concern us. I realised long ago that the BBC and SKY networks are selective with what they televise. Footage of the Ferguson problem turn up on FB and Youtube, as so does various GM crop scandals, yet the media here remains remarkably silent on the matter.

In fact, one of the better news channels I can pick up on satellite is 'Russia Today'amongst others.
