Yes but Americans don't receive an influx of media from other countries. Conversely, American media is everywhere and has saturated the globe, so I think the stereotypes of Americans are far more common.
I don't really have any European stereotypes other than broad generalizations like Belgian people like chocolate and Germans like beer.

In other words, not only does American media give foreigners misconceptions about life in America, it also gives Americans those very same misconceptions about their own country.
