I'm not sure about what they are saying or showing in the western media. I know BBC has been giving pretty balanced coverage for the most part, but personally not sure about the others. I had a skype conversation with my mother in Canada today and it seemed as though not a lot of details were being given, and some that were given were a bit misleading. For those out of country who are interested, NHK world has an English site and they are now doing live streaming of the disaster.

The video window on the top right side is the live coverage. For some reason the 128K feed wasn't playing with sound, but the 256K and 512K were fine. There are also a lot of interviews with survivors here that may not have been shown abroad, and you may be able to get a better feeling of what the people are going through over here. It has been translated into English. Some of the survivor interviews really get to me, the stories are too sad.
