Off Field Landing in 2-33 on video

What's really amazing is that an event as outstanding as the World Championships might not be thought of as news worthy here in the states. This attitude is very obvious to visitors to your shores: as far as the US mass media is concerned, if it didn't happen within the continental USA it isn't news, give or take a few stories about Israel or US troops. I've never forgotten watching the main ABC evening news in LA some years back. It was a 60 minute slot, but only the first ten minutes were an approximation to real news: 4 in-city stories that might get on local news (one was a mom-and-pop store fire in Ventura) here plus a DC political story that was covered like it was foreign news. That was it: the rest of the 50 minutes was sport. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
