Because of such factors as the commercial dominance over media in the USA, the chance for American people to get outside views of the world is much harder than people who enjoy a vibrant public sector broadcasting system can imagine. Let's use this thread to start cataloguing where the US people can choose to see outside views, as well as note any particularly relating to India. Even CNN shown in USA has different editorial selections than CNN International - guided it has been reported by such scheduling instructions as don't show a controversial debate (eg questioning patriotic rights and wrongs) which might cause American viewers to switch channels.

On US tv, there seems to me to be one leadership interviewer to look at first for those who may wish to interconnect local views arpound the world in an attempt to harmonise mutual understanding. This is because Charlie is a veteran of the media with a one of a kind way to whom he interviews and which types of leaders want to be in open conversation with him. There's also a free online discussion board of his interviews, and most can be repurchased from google at 1 US dollar
