The American media are foremost in the world for presenting a view of politics that makes sense. It’s true to say because of the regularity of its coverage plus the scope of its content.
However, there are pitfalls to presenting a singular view of your country and these are telling. The one-sided nature of American coverage is strong, and it has a preoccupation with optics too.
The general content of reports comes across as superficial, in that details are lacking and issues rushed through. There’s also a perception that not much moves news anchors to turn in a different direction.
The positive is it reminds viewers of who’s in control and what matters in America as they are. It has the opportunity to keep items on the agenda that might be used and abused by a plotting administration.
This makes sense because if people are informed (these being the voting public) there is a space for pressure to be applied. This can be done in person or by proxy because of their representatives.
