People seem to allways mention when BBC News have exclusive stuff like 'libarating Kabul' so I thought I would congratulate Sky News for showing live pictures via videophone with a correspondent giving commentary of the Taliban surrendering from Kunduz, Amercian B52s boming the city as well as the Northern Allience and Taliban/Al Qauda shelling each other.

This was shown all morning today. Did anyone else think it was a good exclusive or did no one else see it?

CNN were also using some of their pictures im not sure about FOX news etc.?

I did catch some of this, yes. Very impressive.

For some screenshots of this have a wander down to www.thesun.co.uk - can't really miss them.

I think Fox took some of the coverage, didn't actually see anything much on CNN, other than a giant aston with the old yellow and black 'breaking news' tag on it.

Were CNN actually using pictures direct from Sky? Ie, complete with Sky graphics?

On CNN they showed trucks leaving the city and moving towards the Northern Allience full of taliban without the Sky News graphics but it was the same pictures Sky were using in their headlines and had shown live just a few hours before. I think they had given/sold the pictures to Reuters as CNN put Reuters on the top of the pictures.
