and.....
why do they spend 20 minutes explaining something that they would spend 2 minutes on in other countries???
Example:
Right now on the news.. a car was hit by a train - nobody in it - nobody hurt.
In another country: "A car was hit by a train today..." and video of the wreckage.
But japanese news.. 20 minutes later they are STILL showing interviews with people (of course we cant see their heads because of privacy or something) who heard it.. then re-enactments.. on and on and on and on.....
Then back to the studio for another 10 minutes of meaningless "comment" from the newsreaders about how lucky it is that nobody was hurt and about how we should all be more careful around trains..
and on and on and on and on.......
