For the rest of us in the U.S., there is the internet, newspapers, radio, and local news stations for us to get "world news". CNN isn't the only news station in America.
I've been following the situation in Russia, Iraq and also the India/Pakistan military pull-back. Hey, i even heard of the German tourist in Australia who was eaten by an alligator!! There, you happy now??
For all you people outside the states, why do you care what we show on the news?

I tried all the full time news stations. Not just CNN, so before you call me a moron, read the posts. I also watched the local news, and I got the same amount of nothing just like the 24 hour news stations. I want to see movie footage, not a few pictures I would get on a website or in the newspaper. The radio is also pretty useless; sniper, sniper, sniper. And yes, the sniper WAS the immediate threat on the public of Maryland and Virginia.

P.S. Notice that I got the terrorists' picture from the BBC website, so I was reading news about it from the internet, but I still would rather see up to date footage, which I wont get on a website for the next 24 hours or so. Websites don't update as often as tv news stations.
