If it was a Us holiday spot it would be on the news- What a suprise- An American channell looking at USA stories. CNNN and Foxtell are American TV- of course they cover stories of interest to their viewers.
Why would the US media cover a story about Australia more then just as an item on the news. Its not a world news outlet- its American. How not coverinmg it is ignorance is beyond me.
If a bomb went off in a nightclub in a holiday spot in Spain and 200 Germans were killed- what would be thje coverage in Australia- on the news briefly and thats it.
