Why do none of these Western TV stations want to show other world leaders speaking

[malaise]

This is soooooooooooooo fucking rude.

Live coverage here - Raoul Castro on now

1. Thanks malaise

2. I think Western media is just hoping for an Obama gaffe, really, or hoping for something to whine

about.
It has been a long long time since I listened to any speech at all, by anyone, can't stand 'em, but these days I think Western media is FUBAR by money and special interests and political maneuvering, etc.

4. It's much worse than that

They attend a memorial service in Africa to cover themselves and no one else.

They disgust me - CNN and M$NBComcast are not even covering the President of South Africa. What fucking live coverage is this. I'll be using the SABC (South Africa Broadcasting Corporation) Youtube feed from now until Sunday.

Fuck the rest of them. They have learned absolutely nothing from Mandela - as usual it's about them.

3. It's been live on BBC Two, here in the UK.

Selective editing for the American audience, perhaps.

[malaise]

5. BBC International has been cutting it up as well

but they did carry most of Castro and are carrying Zuma now. Not one of them carried Brazil, China or India - fuck them.

6. Because we are the greatest. USA, USA, USA, Ra, Ra, Ra!

[Myrina]

7. Because we're the only civilized, educated county.

Didn't you know that??

Our ability to exploit & overthrow other countries depends on our sheeple believing that we're the only hope & our way is the only correct way to exist.

8. I think it is related to their intended audience

I can't prove it. It's just a guess.

[malaise]

9. If that is true then advertise that you're carrying Obama's speech alone -

Don't tell us you're carrying a live memorial when you want us to watch you talking among yourselves for most of the program. It insults my intelligence.
