That's just an US media thing. The POW video was aired by most of European
TVs. Here in Italy, a minor TV station decided to give about 12 hours/day
of coverage about the Iraq war. They also re-broadcast many CNN and Al
Jazeera videos, and aired the POW video from Al Jazeera in realtime,
followed shortly after by the Rumsfeld interview.
For some still picture, look here:

(it's the web site of a major newspaper)
Ciao,
