Anybody watch The Journal, German news in English on

Link TV? It's on now and they cover actual international news our news doesn't cover. Then Mosaic, news from the ME follows.

1. I do ! I really like LinkTV and Dish TV in general.

But they just pulled Court TV from my channel package.

The German News on Link seems to be business-oriented but it is better than anything on CBS,NBC, or ABC.

2. It is, but at least it does cover much better than our news outlets.

I haven't heard a thing about Anna Nicole, but they are covering anti-abortion protests in Spain and Portugal.

3. One thing that strikes me about Mosaic is how the Arab countries

see the uncensored video and pictures from Iraq that they won't let us see here in the Land Of The Free.

6. It's hard to believe that sixty years ago, the state of their

news outlets were like ours are today. So maybe there is hope for us to turn around our media crisis in the future.

7. Talking about the situation in Afghanistan. Contrasting

the war where the Americans and Canadians are fighting and in the north where the German army is actually trying to rebuild.

8. Sure do, and Amy Goodman along with them!

Dish and Link are fantabulous! You even have to pay extra to get FoxNews! But Democracy Now is basic! My kinda network!

11. One of our local PBS stations carries it

Channel 12 in Denver. On most weekday nights, they have BBC News at 10, followed by The Journal at 10:30.
