What services do you receive in Aus that feature US News

I see Aaron Brown's show live at the same time as broadcast in the US (10PM ET) - which is daytime for me here.

If I chose to be awake, I see the opening bell story on the NYSE.

I see the hourly news headlines that comes from Atlanta. It usually lasts a couple to 5 minutes.

Aside from that, most CNN coverage here is A/P or specifically Asia based.

Aus TV has (not one channel but competing channels) arrangements with diff US broadcasters. I see 60 Minutes, I see Baywatch, etc. They are more of a way of passing time than getting news ifo.

first see how many by-lines are on the front page...there should be NONE.

Are you suggesting that identifying the author of a news piece inevitably introduces elements of opinion so all news pieces should be anonymous?

That little exercise is MOST interesting to do....

I just tried your exercise. It was, indeed, interesting. I discovered that, minus the adjectives, you couldn't tell what the story was about.
