Nope. I don't watch USA news. Googled the story and not much came up. Major news events drown google with hits from all over the planet.

Google news is USA news. It was founded in Menlo Park which is about as liberal a slant as you can get.

Not Google news. Google hits.

I won't believe a story until the family back east brings it up with OUTRAGE!!! on Facebook.

Lens as in worldview, not sources, hence me talking about bias.

What the **** you talking about?

1. Go to Google search engine.

2. Type in event or subject.

3. Comment on the results of the search.

That simple. Major **** results in hundreds of results from very diverse sources.

Couldn't find much about this particular event. I get that it was covered extensively in Germany, but it didn't resonate much beyond that from what I can tell.
