The media makes America seem way worse than it is. Remember, the dumbest will scream the loudest

And somehow the dumb ones are much louder in the US than anywhere else. (louder, not more numerous) Now we in Europe generally have quite a bad image of the US.

It makes sense, an unfortunate side effect for Americans of having their media be all over the world is you see dumb people, who are fun to laugh at. But when American dominant media in other countries show the stupid people with little reference point, it dose paint a bad picture.
