Australian News...

VIDEO: Van drives onto train tracks in US

One of the top video stories on news.com/au, an australian news site, was this van that veered across train tracks and crashed. For some reason the Aussies won't let me embed the video, which is annoying because this guy literally swerves in front of a train. Little different than cutting off a prius. Anyways i'm interested to know why Australia cares at all about an auto accident in the U.S., or how it affects them in anyway? Australia reporting U.S. news? Like this video has 6500 views today and its been on the site for more than a day but none of the videos surrounding it have over 50 views. Sounds like a global village spillage of agenda setting theory to me. It also has to do with what makes the news. Granted the first thing I clicked was the van swerving in front of a train as opposed to stories about the Tehran University and riots in Greece.
