Most of the Amanpour audience all over the world felt their local media “was not” reliable as a whole. Comments for the most part, reflected disappointment and discouragement toward the local media coverage in their country and many thought their reporting did not include all angles of the stories presented. Several viewers took this topic as an opportunity to show their appreciation for CNN and applauded their “unbiased broadcast”, the Amanpour show was among the most trusted shows according to these viewers. Lastly, some referred to the internet as the “most reliable” source because it kept people around the world abreast of situations the media “did not cover” in its entirety.

Comments about local media coverage of the war in Afghanistan
Salma Salah El Din Just another piece of news :(....I've to watch CNN 4 full coverage.......love u CNN
Deborah J. Boyd Well, in Washington, DC we really do not have much "local" press. I usually depend on PBS and CNN for serious coverage.
Nicole Jette Sarwar Seriously….. I have lost all faith in American Media. I trust you Christiane Amanpour – but you are my last hope for media in general. You ask the tough, real questions that are not based on ratings. Thank you for being you.
Lam Le It can be easy for the US local media to focus on National news which the American people can relate to quite quickly, but when will they boost their efforts in educating the masses on these critical international issues. At the same token, Americans also need to take responsibility to demand or seek more international coverage if they want it. I am not sure if we are ready to get past our reality tv shows to realize what is going on beyond our borders.
Okwesili Ndubisi I will thank CNN for her up to date news and Amanpour for her analysis on current global issues. In Nigeria,most local broadcasters rely heavly ön CNN and Aljazerra for their interntional news.But it will not take them more than 24 hours to report same.
Luqman Sulaiman We dont trust media.
António Ramos de Carvalho Olá Madame Amanpour ! Essa guerra de que nos fala, nós aqui em Portugal também a conhecemos, porquanto a "acolhemos" enviando os nossos rapazes para lá! Mas temos agora por aqui uma outra "guerra", muito surda e triste e está a ser travada contra um senhor que se diz dono da ilha da Madeira. Veja só que não quer declarar o estada de CALAMIDADE PÚBLICA a tragédia que desabou nessa "sua" ilha, para não prejudicar o Turismo !...
(como se o Mundo não soubesse já!...) Estamos todos a começar a pensar, que esse senhor, sim, ele é próprio é já uma calamidade....
Mulkah Adeyinka Adebayo The media in the United Kingdom is very biased. I thank God everyday for Jon Snow and The News Team At Channel 4:)
