I thought it was slightly incredible that I had to point out to a friend living in San Francisco that the Cuban military were undertaking their biggest exercises in forty years by using the BBC (British) news website, because nowhere in America was giving any sort of coverage to the event.

A lot of people see this as an indication of how America is an ignorant country with regards to the wider world. I see it as an indication of how the American mass media is ignorant with regards to the outside world.
