The TV news here is pretty sensational. In Costa Rica I only saw CNN en espanol, so this is my first exposure to all South American news all the time. Though they do talk about what I would call "important" issues, like the economy or conflict in the Middle East, it's more common to see continuing coverage of this guy named Belgrano who was successfully kidnapped and held for ransom for a month (possibly by ex policemen!) or this program called "City in Peril". Last night on "City in Peril", they showed - in its intirety - a 10 minute fight between some teenagers in Buenos Aires, complete with subtitles of the yelling.
Last week, on top of this news backdrop, there was constant Obama coverage. This is a part of a commercial that also flashed a banner saying, "Don't miss the assumption of the first black American president!!"
