Oh, totally, it's not trivializing for me either. :)
I tend to think that The Japan Times has the least sensational English-language coverage, but most American media outlets are just ridiculous (highly qualified exception for The NY Times, which has good reporting marred by the spin their editors insist on putting on it). I really should start watching NHK, since I actually have a TV that gets reception this time.
