Changing tunes of the world?

I was just reading the news report in Wall Street Journal about US senate approving the India nuclear deal. (The news article). I have been closely observing the tone of the news reported on this matter till now. WSJ and NY Times, both have been reporting on this, though not as highly as Indian media, obviously because there is a more serious issue of the financial crisis, election, blah blah to report on..

But till now, all news reported was highlighting that India is the 'needy' and US the giver. Not that this is not true, but have a look at this or this...

Although there were other stories that bordered on reporting without prejudices, but I get a feeling that sometimes it is hard for American press to see their govt bending backwards to bag new orders for their companies. The bottom line is that this deal will get US lots of jobs and lots of money! accept it! that's why US Govt. is all after getting the deal done. As they say, In politics there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, just permanent interests. I think they don't want to see the fact that it is indeed a time of reckoning for other nations to see eye to eye with US...

What do u think?
