News sites from India are actually doing journalism that American reporters apparently won't do. Reuters India is just one example.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told an audience in Europe to “never waste a good crisis.”

“Certainly the United States has been negligent in living up to its responsibilities,” Clinton said.
Members of the European Parliament in Brussels were shaking their heads today after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton incorrectly said U.S. democracy is older than Europe's. Clinton compared Europe's multi-party political system to our two-party version: “It is hard enough with two parties to come to any resolution, and I say this very respectfully, because I feel the same way about our own democracy, which has been around a lot longer than European democracy.”
