> It's certainly true that American culture >> other culture in popular media

What does that mean?

">>" can be read as "is much greater / larger than"

I know, I'm just not sure what "American culture is much greater than other culture in popular media" means. Greater how? Says who?

Other cultures tend to be "americanized" more than the other way around.

Just do a Google search for `americanized india` or `americanized china`.

Outsized influence relative to population. Popular media has had a greater influence in spreading American culture than other cultures.

Says me.

Thought it was obvious and conventional wisdom. Feel free to argue the contrary, though.
