"Wouldn’t you want maybe the “origin of things that will effect everyone"

No, our media is fucked.

UK media is obsessed with random news from USA, if Sarah Palin says something dumb it will be all over the papers, but if poland gets a new president it might not even be mentioned. In the past year my local news has never printed the name of my local MP but has printed maybe 100 of donald trump's tweets.

It's really interesting to look at, from the US perspective.

The UK and Canadian media seems to be obsessed with US politics, yet here we barely talk about either countries. Why is that so?
