62. Foreign media will report on the SOTU thing.

Some will air the good bits - 30 seconds at the most.

Some will report on the lies and word salad - 60+ minutes of that.

I'm happy to look at a number of streaming media sources across the world to get a better balanced picture.

Avoiding US sources though, for obvious reasons.
