The "World" News!

Definition of "World" (According to Americans) : America and only America.

I was watching ABC's " 'World' news saturday" and guess what, there were 4 bullet points:
  • 9/11 trials in New york
  • Something about how Sen. Brown's election shifting the power structure in Washington
  • Winter in the South-East (Ofcourse, South-East refers to the South-East part of the US)
  • Toyota Recall - How it affects US Toyota dealers
Other Stories Included
  • Friendly Fire killing US soldiers in Afganistan
  • Bll Gates Donating $10b for vaccinations.
  • "virtual Visits" by divorced parents.
  • Controversial Ads during superbowl
  • Winter X-games in Aspen.

Ever story covered had some reference to the US. Is there no other news around the world that had nothing to do with the Americans at all? Oh, Btw, this program follows the ABC 7 news at 5, which incidentally covers all the local and national news!! Why don't they just call the program "America News Saturday" instead?
