I did not read the comment like this.
And I am certainly not saying that only US media is telling half-truth and the other media is not. I unclude all media in that - around the world. (Besides that there are only so many (actually only a few) news agencies (mostly Reuters).
The suggestion to watch outside US news, if available to you, is just for you (or anyone) to see the difference in delivery and views.
News in other places in the world are not presented as dramatic as in the US, and not repeated as much (with the same pictures over and over and over, to hammer it into ones head).
US news often put fear into people, which I think is nothing but controll and a certain way of thinking. Fear your neighbour, fear the one you don't know, fear the hurricane, fear certain religions.........
I am not talking about going through life with open eyes - I am talking about fear.
