MONTREAL - A survey of media reports around the world says the inauguration of U.S. President Barack Obama received more coverage than the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in 2001. Montreal media company Influence Communication says the inauguration and associated events took up 60.54 per cent of all news coverage in 160 countries during a 24-hour period from Jan. 20 to Jan. 21. Not surprisingly, the U.S. media gave the inauguration the most prominence - 71.12 per cent of all coverage. Canada comes in at 61.45 per cent. In all, Influence Communication says if a person were to try to take in all electronic media coverage worldwide it would take 38.5 years to do so, or 20 (m) million minutes of air time. By comparison, Influence says, the Sept. 11 attacks got coverage amounting to about 30 years of air time.

‘In fairness, Obama will be a bigger disaster.’
Yep. I was gonna say that all attacks on America deserve extensive coverage...
What do you expect? Obama isn’t just some President of a Republic. We’ve had over 40 of those; that wouldn’t be big news. He’s the first American Emperor. All hail Emperor Barack I, the Big-Eared. Piss be upon him.
No disrespect to the 09/11 families meant, but you could very well be right. That’s my concern.
Correction, he's the mahdi, the 12th imam. The Messiah that the world has been waiting for.
I am sure that 9/11 got far more coverage in the US than the Obamafest. After all there was little else on TV at all for the first week, not just on news shows.
That cannot be factual but is an Obambi myth
