I have to admit that especially in Germany there is a huge, huge bias (from our news media) towards pointing the USA as a nation of radical right-wing retards.

US-related news here is mainly about: Tea Party, gun violence, wars, more Tea Party, corruption and dumbness on both popular parties, sheer political idiocy (sequester), and a record amount of bigotry throughout the society.

To the USA: deal with your external image before starting to whine when other people laugh at you.

So you're saying that Germans are equally prone to uncritically accept misleading media coverage?
Sorry who are you talking to? Americans by and large are completely oblivious that anyone would be laughing at them.
