It's all fun and games until you find out the rest of the world isn't any smarter, we're just monoglots who can't parse foreign news sources.
All the world is just playing it by ear and hoping for the best.
I love the implication that only Americans speak English.
More that the only news we can read is from the Anglosphere, and the Anglosphere is dominated by American news, because we are very loud.
This angry "female news reporting voice" is what makes me not wanna watch it. They sound like they want to make you angry (which they probably do, they wanna keep you on the channel after all, like Twitter).
Tbf, there is like 350 million of you lot, that's like 75% of the Anglosphere, so it makes sense you'd have the most news.
When I learnt how to read English I started to get access to new currents of thought that are not common on Spanish (is that a latinsphere or Spanishsphere I wonder), at the same time I learnt how loud are US people on internet really.
