the world's eyes upon us.
The world was watching last night and this morning. What did global journalists think of the U.S. election and its coverage in the media?From Poland: [O]ur democracy is in infancy while that of the United States may have entered a mid-life crisis of some sort. From Kenya: Given that the war was a major campiagn issue this time round, I expected the US media to do a bit more in terms of bringing out the true human cost of the war instead of relying heavily on unsupported criticism by the candidates of each other's position on the war. From Uganda: The biggest sins in coverage have occurred on TV, where talking head types substitute serious information with clueless mirth that they call punditry. We need to get these out of mainstream media.
