It's true--The foreign press carries important stories that never appear
in the American press. Take, for example, this one:

http://www.spiegel.de/unispiegel/studium/0,1518,426221,00.html from Der Spiegel:

Deutsche Studenten für öffentliches Pinkeln verhaftet

Kurz vor dem G-8-Gipfel müssen zwei Bielefelder Fotostudenten für zehn Tage in den Knast von St. Petersburg. Grund oder Vorwand: Urinieren in der Öffentlichkeit. Die Studenten hatten eine Fahrradkarawane von G-8-Kritikern begleitet.

3. Maybe a bit of translation is in order.
The headline reads "German students arrested for public urination."

The story goes on to detail how these two photography students, travelling with a group of bicyclists to protest the G-8 meeting, ended up getting sentenced to 10 days in the St. Petersburg (Russia) slammer.
