For all the cable and satellite channels they have in the states, it always seems like the National news is "edited & sanitised" to a one sided point of view and the local news is often down to who found a twelve foot 'gator in his back yard (or whose back yard disappeared overnight into a big hole). The US Daily Mail appears to be edited in the same way 'cos when we get home half of the stories were missing. I guess they only select the ones that they think will appeal to the US readers?
