I didn’t want to make a grinding argument out of it, but I surely can say, that I don’t see such finger pointing characteristics through media presentations in other places I frequently visit (Central Europe & South America) esp. when it comes to foreign nations.

American media is very particular in this respect. Whether it is the Russians, Chinese, Latin America, Island nations, Europe altogether. All of them are regarded with a lesser status of sorts than the US. There’s only 2 entities the US media does continued butt-kissing with, UK & Israel.

Ofcourse, not everything is obvious to anyone in the same way, but with a bit of an ‘outside’ view, objectivity and common sense a lot of things become a lot clearer very quickly.

Originally, I had a response posted to your #2 post. A ‘mirror-like’ reflection, which I decided to delete before it was going to derail the thread into a disaster of uncontrolled & overheated emotions. Any of the negative points in your post could be applied to the US as well, one way or another.

US media has the obligation to keep the population in their delirium and part of this obligation is to give us the sense that we are so much better off then everybody else. This, at least for the reason of diverting our understanding from the reality, that everything and all is held up by no more than a bunch of strings that can snap anytime, any day.

If this is not the case, we are subjected to an incredibly large scheme of the conspiracy kind, big enough to lure the entire global population into submission.
