All right, this particular question has been hanging over my head for the longest.
Compared to other foreign news I have seen over the past years including BBC, CCTV (China) and FujiTv (Japan), the U.S. media in particular puts a strong emphasis on American point of views, politics, culture, and self absorbing promotion of Democracy on a daily basis, even though the U.S. accuses other countries of acting nationalistic or ethnocentric in the same way. Not too many distinct non-American viewpoints are presented in the US local or mainstream media. What is the reason for this?
What I have noticed is a strong presence of overt patriotism in most the major mainstream as well as local news networks concerning International cooperation, development, UN meetings and foreign policy.
This question is not meant to be anti-American or "left wing" bias as some would suggest upon seeing it. And a long diatribe on Freedom of Speech won't be needed to explain any reasoning for this question
