I had a discussion with a Kenyan a few years ago who asked me "What's all this about a wall?" I explained how we didn't want just anyone crossing into our country -- that we wanted to know who was coming in and be able to verify their identity, especially if from a country that was in total anarchy, and not just let anyone walk in who wanted to and he was totally into that concept. He said that they needed a wall too, because terrorists would cross into Kenya from South Sudan and Somalia, plant bombs, and then flee back across the border to avoid capture, so by the time I left he was VERY PRO-WALL!!!

So, he'd heard about a wall, but in a very negative light that left him wondering why the US even wanted a wall; however, he was intelligent enough to question it and to actually ask an American and get the question of why answered. I loved the fact that he now supports not only a wall in America, but for at least two of Kenya's borders.

From the Australian perspective I think you'll find Sky News more Trump friendly than most. Don't even consider our national broadcaster, The ABC. I consider myself left of center politically but I would be called a neo NAZI fascist by ABC standards. I find it politically disturbing that I can have a reasonable civil discussion with conservatives while being pilloried by the new 'woke' left.

I trust most of Sky News AU. They don't see the world as a small box we all have to resign ourselves to living inside.

where USA politics is concerned I don't believe there are any "news" sources in either Great Britain or Australia that are not both implicitly and explicitly anti-Trump. If there is a "conservative" leaning newspaper or cable or broadcast agency in either of those two countries I don't know who they are...BBC and CNN Great Britain along with CBS, ABC, NBC, all are clearly "left leaning" to put it mildly. So I don't exactly believe BBC reportage about American politics is ever going to deliver an objective or neutral story about our political goings on.

What I'm saying is you could and will hear about things not even covered by your own media, especially about foreign policy and actions that might educate American citizens as to why you're nowhere near as popular as you like to think

@BikerPetehall70 I don't know where you get the idea that most Americans believe we (America) are all that popular around the world. It's no secret there is a lot of resentment toward USA. Nevertheless, if you find a news item you believe is not covered or is inadequately covered here in USA but is well covered in your country do let us know. I'l bee very keen (ha!) to hear about it.
I might be wrong in my observation but it seems pretty much everyone and anyone who would call himself a "remainer" would also be a Trump hater and an SJW and a Woke individual...on the other hand I'm not so sure that Brexiteers have any affinity for Trump either but certainly do not seem to show extreme feelings about it.

@iThink just a personal observation that channel hopping from French news to rt to all Jazeera even , I have seen more in depth coverage of British events than were covered by the BBC etc so if it applies here it , most likely applies for you , besides, there's far more going on than just loving or hating trump and brexit,

@BikerPetehall70 no doubt - via you tube and a few other sites I am able to see what al jazeera and RT are talking about and I do absorb that content often enough. I don't speak French so I don't bother with that news source. Certainly there is a LOT more going on that what domestic "news" agencies give us. That among other complaints is why we here in USA generally distrust "news media" as much as we distrust our politicians.
I and other Americans have often complained about all the important "news" that is being withheld - not delivered for public consumption. I think we intuitively know we are systematically being "locked out" of the room where global news and domestic news for that matter are concerned. There is a LOT LOT more going on right here in USA that we consumers are never privy to.
Point taken!

NZ does not appear in the newsfeed of other countries.

We have to import a racist from Australia or have our PM say something stupid about Trump before we are even mentioned.

NZ has a problem with not appearing on quite a few world maps , have a search for news items about it

It's interesting that after digging up financial details of money given by the UK to the EU . More than 150 million pounds were forked over in one financial year . Germany being the only country that has donated more to the Brussels globalist scumbags . They rightfully deserve to pay the most . Germany has never been a very nice neighbour. The Brits ( other than leftist retards) must be extremely happy.

Interesting concept. I used to do that and even got an idea of what those in France thought about issues in the US. I found out that they tend to carry a single perception, (usually skewed with little context) and think they’re informed on the issue.

For instance, the issue of the 2nd amendment to most countries is a foreign concept, as they don’t understand why the 2nd amendment was ever enacted in the first place. Their culture has no 2nd amendment nor do they have a gun culture. They don’t understand that a militia isn’t just another name for a paramilitary organization paid for by taxes. They don’t understand that the framers of the constitution were concerned about the potential for tyranny should all other safeguards fail and they needed to leave the ultimate power in the hands of the people being governed. If every citizen had guns and the ability to join together against enemies, both foreign and domestic, to defend their freedom, they couldn’t be subjugated by tyranny.

When it comes to understanding a different culture’s issues, it helps to understand their culture, history and their spirit. Just my perspective.

Putting opinions aside, you're likely to see things your own media won't show or may completely ignore

WbikerPethall70: You're absolutely correct. Sometimes those things are also enlightening. I still listen to the BBC and read some news items in other languages from other countries occasionally. I have just learned to apply their cultural perspective to the issues being discussed.

However, I never just accept what they have to say as "better" than what I learn from sources within my own culture. I know you weren't suggesting they are better; only that they give a different perspective that could help prevent group-think. And that's true, except when they are just parroting the most common of the American news outlets' views.

The foreign news outlets give the best view of what other countries think about what is going on in the US. (e.g. 2nd amendment rights, racism in the US getting worse than ever, etc...)

It's not a perspective. It is history.
