Interesting news overview showing how broadcasters from around the world covered the Democratic Convention and Obama's nomination -- and how they balanced that coverage with other important world issues. This focus on more critical news events is a healthy departure from the American media's coverage of the razzle-and-dazzle in Denver, though this segment goes a bit too far in downplaying the importance of Obama's historic nomination.
