I get the local news, which here is very local (lost pets, mayors race, fires) on 5 channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, local station .

I get the national news 3 times a day on four channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS). They cover the big story of the day.

I get 24 hr national news on 5 channels (CNBC, MSNBC, FoxNews, CNN, HNN). Each of these networks has an international show or segment.

Plus I get international news on BBC (yes there is a BBC America). They cover a lot of international news. I also get two feeds on Mexico TV (Univision and Galavision).

Some of the best international news is on the financial news nets (Bloomberg).

We see news about those who are killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. I also look at internet and read newspapers. I think the info is available for USA to see. Many Americans do not pay much attention, busy living thier lives I guess.
