There is no straightforward answer that I can link you to, but it boils down to attempts to export their flavour of politics, types of news outlets (GB News), cultural controversies (hot-button issues that are mostly an issue in the US), and to some extent overall culture (via Hollywood & Disney productions mostly, IMO).
- lotsofpulp 3y agoWhat is GB news? Are you sure all of that is not just a consequence of economies of scale and using a common language? It does not take a grand conspiracy to influence businesses to seek more profit by selling their near zero marginal cost media to other English speaking countries. But I also would not characterize it as “trying to export their bullshit”. It is UK residents deciding to spend their time and money on content made by/for Americans, so would it equivalently be described as “UK trying to import the US’s bullshit”?

- regularfry 3y agoIt would be a mistake to lump these two broad groups of influences together. Mostly because while they're both intentional, paid campaigns, they're paid for by very different groups. It would also be a mistake to assume any of this is what one might call natural cultural contamination.
