You're quite right.  I like Usenet better than newspapers and magazines,
but I was comparing apples to oranges.  Take AP or UPI as examples instead;
those news wires are where most of the news comes from--the newspapers
just print it for mass distribution, since most people don't have
AP nor UPI feeds.

International, respectively.  I really don't know.
