If one is uninformed, one either doesn't care, or doesn't look.

BBC, of course, is on many cable systems, we get it 24 hours a day.
The internet has too many news sources to list.
A few I look at semi-regularly-

South China Morning Post- one in today's news- "Britain is cracking down on corruption among British companies worldwide..." May have far-reaching impact on Hong Kong and mainland firms-

Al Jazeera- A report that Pakistan's Intelligence Service (ISI) backs Taliban- analysis of a paper from London School of Economics. Causing worry to US forces.

Arizona Republic- various articles about Bill 1070 and its effects on legal immigrants and citizens. Many are worried, some are angered about being harrassed because they are darker-skinned. The Tucson police chief is worried that Sheriff Arapaio, etc., are causing conditions that may lead to riots. Some Hispanics are considering moving to another state.

London Times- BP is considering putting several billions into a ring-fenced cleanup fund to appease Americans

Where is the PB chairman, Carl-Henric Svenberg? He has been silent.
He should be active in the disaster.

BP was worth only $73 billion on Friday. It is vulnerable to takeover by Exxon-Mobil, Chevron, etc. Unlikely until after things quiet down and the gusher controlled.

and so on- anything and everything is available
