my impression:
japanese news shows are so SOFT. ._. at least, soft-natured.
american news tv is always like, 'THE WORLD IS GOING TO END! NOW, MOTHERFUCKERS! DOOM, DOOM, DOOM!'
and japanese news shows are always like, 'this is going on, what a shame, too bad, isn't it? let us all be sympathetic and hope everything works out for the best, using the power of emotions and wa and harmony and understanding, and by stating everything in this really nice way, where we just want the world to be a nice place, so we'll use pastel colors in our sets and all~'
which isn't bad, per se.  it's just funny compared to american news, where EVERYONE IS TOO OLD OR TOO BLONDE AND THEIR TEETH ARE TOO WHITE  AND THE SET IS SUPER PROFESSIONAL AND THE COLORS ARE ALL TOO SHARP AND TOO BOLD AND EVERYTHING IS FULL OF SHARP POKEY CORNERS AND IT'S ALL WASHINGTON AND FAST-PACED AND RAWR RAWR RAWR.

can you tell i just don't like news television in general? >.>  not neccessarily news media as a whole, just news tv and talk shows.
the japanese version is probably just a little on the soft-natured side, but i guess i still prefer it.
