I mean, they speak English in those places. And thanks to the Internet, I can read any newspaper I want from either one. Or I can turn on my television and watch BBC World or CNN and so forth. Like I say, I understand the reasons they open these bureaus first, but I think bureaus in Sao Paulo, Mexico City, Cape Town, Moscow, Dehli or any number of other places would be more useful and interesting to me personally.
