Do Americans get news on other countries?
 
Just wondering because normally if it had been in North America, everyone here would have been talking about it.

Definitely a top story here on all the major news outlets ... seems as though the details are still a bit sketchy though. 80 dead at a summer camp? Very sad.

Maybe? I don't pay much attention to TV news...but Reddit has a world news and they have been on top of the Utøya massacre/Oslo explosion.

For sure. I was listening to Arizona radio online and it was a big story. CBC here in Canada is also informing me.

And I'm going to Norway tomorrow. ...

Not that I'm scared, we're not visiting the crowded part of Norway. But yes, very, very sad. How 1 guy manages to kill 80 people with a gun and a pistol is beyond me.

I was watching BBC at 2am when I saw all that Norway stuff, and I immediately had the thought of "I wonder what's on CNN", so I flicked over and they had on some BS about their debt for the next 2 hours while BBC was covering Norway.


Anyways, Norway. Horrible thing. I was speechless when I saw it, actually.
