Let me echo what my Australian & English friends have said. Here also in Canada the death of the Patriarch was reported on the national (CBC) networks and also on at least one other private network. This despite the fact that Canada has a much lower percent of Orthodox than America I believe.
As Tracy says American under-reporting of things Orthodox could be at least partly due to the lack of visible 'newsworthy' presence. But I wonder if this is also partly the problem of general lack of international reporting by American media. Every day I watch the news on the American stations. Before 9/11 I watched CBS, now ABC. The lack of international news especially before Sept 9/11 was quite noticeable. Now (at least ABC) it seems better but it is still less than comparable broadcasts from other countries.
