If it isn't broken...
A slant!
The cliche goes that all politics are local, and Americans are understandably concerned about themselves first and foremost. News media can’t really be blamed for pandering to this ready-made market, but I wish they would take a more active role in ending the sort of intellectual isolationism that still plagues American culture.
Uh... just because things are happening somewhere, doesn't mean we should care. Heck, the only reason the rest of the world cares what the U.S. does is because what we do affects them. Do you think they would give the slightest nod in our direction if they weren't subjugated? That is, we're not talking about an American problem here. It's something that comes with being human, and it's not even problem.
