I want news that affects me as an English-speaking Westerner living in a first world country. An explosion in a small industrial town in America does not fit this criteria. Please explain how this explosion has relevance.
Yeah pretty much this. I don't get why American news is so much more important than poorer countries. OK, so the election affects us majorly, but an explosion in a small town shouldn't be getting so much coverage in our media. I want to hear news about stuff that affects me.
