Why would anyone on HN care?

It's interesting to see the differences in news broadcasts or debate shows in other countries.

There is "Ben Shapiro: US commentator clashes with BBC's Andrew Neil - BBC News" from 6 years ago, maybe to see how different it is. I also remember Richard Dawkins in a German debate show promoting his book, and he was clearly not prepared for German debate culture.

A few years ago, I spoke with a coworker from Norway. He told me he used to watch news in Norway and later also watched news, e.g. from the United States. He was stunned that the news in Norway are so close to the US news, as if they copy a lot from them. And of course, if you only watch the news in Norway you'll not notice that.

Somebody told me some time ago, when he was in his training for military officer, he had a guy in room who spoke many languages. he was curious and asked him, how he learned all these languages. The guy told him, his father (a German general) ordered Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (German news paper), Le Monde (French newspaper), and another newspaper every morning. Actually his father ordered three copies of each newspaper so the guy, his father, and his sister could read them each morning and tell his father the news in Germany and other countries at the breakfast table. Because of this drill he quickly learned these languages, you just need to start and make it a habit.

This is not very curious!
