read other countries' news about your country?

It bother me to see that someone give the source from the other country about your country. Yet, I felt offense.

At the most of time, I see UK news online write as it seem likely against on America at the most of time.

What's your thoughtful?

I see the same thing happening here, also, meaning, we write about other countries, too. I don't know what's to be upset about.

For example, I have ear marked an article to read later: "Germany: An ex-chancellor's conflict of interest".

Probably because our country is very powerful and its people have more freedoms than many "socialism countries." Don't let them get to you.

Do you want to live in an isolated world where you hear from nobody else but yourself?

All countries newpapers write about other countries. What kind of freedom are you advocating if their freedom of speech bothers you?

Not true, Most part of Europe, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, most part of South America and some part of southeast Asian, such as Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, HK and Philippine have same freedom as USA does but their system is very different, just same freedom feature.

Media has nothing with freedom countries.

I'm heavily British ancestry since some of my families from UK, such as my mother is British immigrant, I like UK system better than USA because of better GLBT rights, such as offers civil unions, universal health care, less crime, parliament, not demand on war with other countries, better environment regulation, including on vehicles and other reason, also I like Canada's system since it's commonwealth of UK.

well, I'm saying that most outside wrote to against on the most one side without balance that show both against and support.

For example, the most universal against on Republican. I felt it's not fair as there is no balance.

I do read news from some foreign news agency websites as long as they are not Anti-American or biased. Whenever the biased or anti-American news articles are brought up on their websites, I do not bother to read them because of their political ulterior motives.

There often have been lack of balance in articles as the journalists do not give any damn about the codes of journalism.
