You could have stopped there. I don't think we (in the U.S.) get too much international news — to the contrary in fact. But to be sure we are not getting enough local and relevant news.

For example, just opened Google news and saw "Joy Behar calls out “The View” cohost's revealing outfit: 'Where are you going in that dress?'"

(Of course it's easy to cherry pick dumb celebrity "news".)

In general, I think the average US citizen gets too little global news, too little local news, and far too much "other state" news. I don't understand why so many people have formed strong opinions about states or cities they have never been to.
