Maybe if you exclude most western states/countries - not sure I have noticed a pattern of US media talking it up - quite the contrary - and I have not really gotten the impression that press of UK, Australia, France or Germany is in the business of putting positive spins on domestic matters either.

- jotm 7y agoOh the UK media definitely does. Example: Removing the working time limit? Let's ignore that it's going to lead to more overtime even for those who don't want it, it will increase household revenue! Good news everyone! https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5156079/brits-post-brexit-overtime-boom-eu-limits/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5156079/brits-post-brexit-over... It's currently opt out if you want to work more than 48hrs/week, but scrapping that law will make it even better heh

- wsxcde 7y ago> not sure I have noticed a pattern of US media talking it up Don't you remember when the NYT "credulously" put out stories from Dick Cheney about supposed WMDs in Iraq, which btw were sourced as coming from a "senior administration official" and then Cheney and his cronies then used these reports to actually start a war in Iraq that has resulted in half a million deaths and millions of global refugees? Very little any other country has done could possibly compare with this.
