To be honest, when I saw the title, I had hoped it was 10 interesting facts about the USA, not this. Trust me, as a foreigner, these articles are getting boring, and I strangely read a lot of them. I am not sure if they are supposed to make me feel superior or sad, but in reality I feel neither.
I also find that these articles portray an image of Americans that is either not true or very misleading, which cannot be healthy or useful. The fact that I know where Sudan or the Ivory Coast (I refuse to use its French name in an English context) is, doesn't mean everyone in my country do.
And in regards to point 1; this just doesn't ring true at all to me. Yes, we cover other countries' elections, but not in the way we cover the US presidential elections. And even people I know to be anti-American, often have something to say about the elections. I sometimes fear we cover the US elections more than our own elections. Then again, our elections last for four weeks.
