The ABC is giving it plenty of current affairs time; Insiders this morning was a US Election special, and I'm sure the 7:30 report on Wednesday will be largely dedicated to it too. It might affect us, but it's still another country. Perpetuating the idea that we're just a state of the US isn't healthy. SBS is giving it coverage; great, be thankful that someone is, if you're interested.
And the commercials never cover anything useful. The channel 7 news tonight had a story about a cat turning 21, while I was sitting here reading about the world AIDS pandemic about which the developed world is doing fuck all. What do you expect?
