Trump and those tapes.

I think we'll just get more of the same old stuff, Trump knocking both Clinton and the media, and threatening to sue all the women who bad mouthed him, Clinton doesn't seem to be taking many pot shots at him, at least not that I've seen on the news..

Not to likely at this stage, I guess it could happen though, it's more likely it'll just be the usual bad mouthing each other from now on I think..

I see he's up in the polls now, hopefully Michelle Obama will do some good for Clinton.

I hope it works and Clinton gets back up in the polls, or widens the gap that Trump closed down..

The tape scandal seems to have gone dead, I wonder if there's anything in the US news?

It seems to be interesting times, it amazes me how long it all takes, and how much money is spent on campaigning..

I hope the FBI looking into her emails again won't do her in, I suspect they might hold off doing anything unless things look to bad.

If you really watch the US news, you would recognize that Fox is for Trump while CNN is for Clinton. It is so blatant is almost ridiculous.

I don't want either one, not much choice this time around. Situation normal with Clinton and drastic disruption with the other. We can't keep going like we have for the past ten years, so I guess change is in order.

We will see in just a few days . . . .

Unfortunately we don't get either news service down here, just an occasional item of news from one or the other, our reporters seem to have been feeding us what news we've had..

I agree with not much choice this time round given what I do know, Trump may be a good enough businessman, but IMO I don't think he's presidential material.. Clinton may have been first lady and secretary of state, I'm not sure if that's given her the right stuff for the job or not, but if I had to choose on election day like you, I think I'd have to give her my vote being he seeming lesser of two evils..

A pity news companies are openly biased politically, in my opinion they should report any political news in an unbiased way no matter what their stance is, it doesn't make for fair reporting if they're biased in my books.

We read the news items that pop up on the news feed below if there's anything of interest, I haven't had time to visit the site yet, work first and all eh.

I really only read whatever news is showing too, I haven't seen anything about the elections yet, maybe I should ask this guy I know if he can change the news feed on it for me.. :)

This guy made it specific to New Zealand, but if you want it for "world" or other topics, that can be done instead ;)

Maybe I should ask this nice guy I know if he can change things to include a couple of good news sites.. :)

A good idea if it's world news, it'd be good to get some US news though, especially with the elections looming.

I see we've got a slightly different news feed, hopefully it'll show more international news soon.

Just noticed that it's showing mostly NZ news, I wonder if it has an international news feed too? I'd like to see more overseas news on there.

Click on the 'more news' or go on the bottom left and click there, you'll get a whole new page there, hopefully there's heaps of overseas news there, I haven't checked properly yet..

Somebody was given a completely new script to replace the NZ news script with Top Stories directly from News Headquarter.

It's showing the herald, I thought it was going to be an overseas news site.

It's doing the Herald's international news at present, that should keep us up to date for now eh..

I wonder if it's possible to do say CNN and The Herald's international news? I remember CNN was okay n their news, they were while I had Sky, that was a while ago though.

Not sure, I guess if it isn't I can change the code over, that's pretty easy..

I notice you're posting any election news from mainly the BBC website at present, it'd save a bit of work if it was a news feed eh, possibly CNN or such?
