JNN's US-based Japanese reporter followed not only Messiah Obama along with Harry Reid in Nevada (for the first 1/2 of the report), but they also gave great, contexted, easy-to-understand, generally unfiltered coverage in the second part to both Sharron Angle (had her famous "man up, Harry Reid quote"), as well as the 2009-2010 "Tea Party" (茶会党）Phenomenon currently in the USA.
The link to the stream is HERE. Just hit the white triangle over the photo of a throng of Angle supporters at the link. Not all PCs/Macs can view, but a great majority will be able to. Link might be up for one day. Best part of short Japanese news video is in the final minute of coverage, the immense drama, the interview of an Angle supporter, the Tea Party Express busses pulling in, Lloyd Marcus and others on stage in crowd prep mode, and so on.
Video high points (my translation synopsis):
--Obama is stumping for Reid in Nevada, but is in BIG TROUBLE there and all over the USA and with the American People.
--Candidates like Ms. Sharron Angle are giving him a big headache, though. They are drawing huge crowds, like this one in Las Vegas (excited Japanese reporter in the midst of a pro-Angle rally).
--The "Tea Party" is a takeoff on the Boston Tea Party, so critical for the Americans' history, in that it signified a breakaway from Britain in favor of individuals rights, smaller government and lower taxes.
--Obama is in the fight for his political life in Nevada and elsewhere, due to these "Tea Partiers".

Addendum: So many Japanese are viewing this stream right now, so be patient. Just keep reloading if you get Japanese text that says “many views currently viewing.” I got it right away on the second try.....
—The “Tea Party” is a takeoff on the Boston Tea Party, so critical for the Americans’ history, in that it signified a breakaway from Britain in favor of individuals rights, smaller government and lower taxes.
Its amazing that this Japanese Press seems to understand a simple concept that baffles the MSM here.
You appeared on Japanese TV tonight! ;-)

Hey, I was at most of those Angle events. There were reporters from Belgium and London there too.
Link no longer works. My Japanese is not quite good enough to help me find it again.
More stuff can be found by looking up "ティーパーティー" (Tea Party in katakana).
