However CNNi is really not what it used to be, it pales in comparison to Al Jazeera's investigative journalism.

What do you mean?

you son of a bitch.
We already have 3 geographical channels, uk/canada/asia
While in my tag research
http://www.videosift.com/talk/Video-tag-cloud-a-quantitativequalitative-reseach
also french iraq japan japanese
were mentioned.
Then we have
-india +-73 posts
-china +-118
-brazil +-42
-australia(n) +-180
-new zealand +-38
-south africa +-22
-iran +-83
-korean +-53
-german +-180
Well, I could go on but I'm afraid the distribution could be quite similar to the map, but with more focus on uk/canada/japan (and france) because of their pop culture.

I find stuff like Fedquip's post useful.. contextualizing and making meaning.
I figured sooner or later it had to pop up on one of the less popular sites.
I hope it survives!

I wonder how many people can go on the tour at the same time? Sifters should get together in NYC!
I think global warming is abstract but is easily convincing if its not presented in a skewed manner. Think of Al Gore's documentary, there is a vast proportion of criticism he left out settling mostly on citizens, he didn't speak of major heavy industries that produce most of the waste. Its a guilt trip seeming the average person has to augment his life in order to change Global warming, and not everyone from the top down not from the down and up.
Civil liberties can also be presented in a non abstract manner, but as long as they are presented as applying to foreigners and not to American citizens. The discussion is never "Should this be something America does?" but rather "What will terrorists do if we can't torture them?"
I believe its all a matter of presenting and framing the issues.

That video shows a clear individual who we can judge..it's good TV, not abstract. Katrina is visual and visceral..global warming and civil liberties are not: http://www.videosift.com/video/Frogs-in-Boiling-Water-the-Psychology-of-Global-Warming
In reply to this comment by Farhad2000:
People seemingly get more railed up about police abuses captured on video then the continuing judicial abuses committed by the Whitehouse. One affects a minority the other affects the majority. Kind of like whats going on right now in the Senate:
