(VIDEO 4:50) An interesting comparison of how different broadcasters worldwide are covering the world financial crisis -- and America's role in that crisis. All these different perspectives are helpful, but it would have been more effective to stick to a single news event - either the bank fraud, or the mortgage crisis, or the economic fiasco. As it is, the story jumps around a lot, and it's harder to compare the different points-of-view. I was a bit surprised to see the piece open with the Daily Show -- as much as I like John Stewart, I believe he belongs further down, as exhibit rather than cover story.

One great thing about watching TV news from other countries is that sometimes the sheer volume of coverage takes on its own meaning. Market shocks are like tsunamis in the now globalized world of finance. After they hit, nations recalculate their own position, as can be seen in their national news broadcasts.
