I'm on the road and watching BBC World News and it occurs to me just how much world news we miss in the US. It's really incredible that for a country as big, influential and cosmopolitan we can't seem to stop fighting about what color the lint in our pockets is. When I was a kid the world updates during the evening news were the best/most important parts. Now it's just whatever gets the biggest 'pop'. May not grab more market share or profits, but society would benefit from it.

CNN International is just ok. They have occasional stories, but really aren't on the same level as they still focus too much on the US political scene.
