Headline irony

Just yesterday, in my reflection on the Women's World Cup, I wrote about how our ability to access knowledge is limited by our language.  In a "related development" (as a journalist might say) can you guess what is today's top headline among the Japanese news media?  It is the following:

米朝協議始まる、１年７か月ぶり

.. which loosely translates to "The United States and North Korea open talks for the first time in one year and seven months." 

Now, if it's "top news" about the U.S., and it's even garnering prime headlines in foreign news publications, wouldn't it be reasonable to expect at least one of my favored U.S.-based news websites to cover the story?  Apparently and ironically, no.  Google News homepage?  (Nowhere.)  Huffington Post homepage?  (Zippo.)  Politico?  (Korea is waaaay too far from the beltway.) 

Oh, so language is a barrier to knowing what's happening in other important parts of the world?  How about American media being a barrier to knowing what's happening right here in our own country.
