Come again?! Where did this come from, Hollywood?
- jtfrench 13y agojust look around you. Surely I'm not the first person to mention this concept to you. I'm not saying I believe that the US has the best example of democracy, but true or not, that's the general story being "sold" on the news (and yes, in movies as well).
- vidarh 13y agoIt's the general story being "sold" in a subset of US news. In large part of the rest of the world, the threat of "American conditions" or similar is a frequently used political insult.
- lotsofmangos 13y agoThe news and movies are lying to you. This is not a common view across the world.
