We've got to ask ourselves why the media takes on the American talking points, then? Where is the searching of ones own culture and country, so that we might face-off with the unique problems we then have in our countries? Is this a problem of journalism, or is it because it is easier to adopt american problems, and thereby neglect our own, real problems?

Here in Australia, our media seems to wholesale import US content.

My best guess is that the media owners are a) American (and want to push "the American way"), and b) it's somehow cheaper.

Most journalists knows at least their native language and English. So when they need something to write about, it's easy to import some problems from English-speaking nations.
