From what I've seen up here in Canada from watching Fox News and CNN, these media outlets have a bias view of other countries and blame them for all of America's problems. For example, when SARS was happening in Toronto in 2003, CNN was making it sound like everybody in Toronto was infected with it. The truth is it was quarantined only to the hospitals and only a couple of hundred were only affected by it (Sympathies to those affected by the SARS outbreak). People living in the states would naturally think there was a major outbreak on the streets and people were sick all over the place. As a result, tourism was down and people stopped coming (understandable to a point). But the point here is, the American media makes things sound worse than what they really are. There's a few more examples I can think of as well. But please my neighbours to the south, have more of an open mind when watching the news when it comes to other countries.
