For some reason the US TV media reports very little outside of the country. The people who watch public broadcasting (PBS) fare a little better.
I do think one has to be careful about making blanket statements about US politics based on current leaders. We have this problem with big money influencing who gets elected. I've lived in the Southern US all my life and their are progressives in every city. The syndicated colunmist Molly Ivins has lived in Texas her whole life. She has a great piece in this month's
"Progressive" magazine. I'd would post a link to it but I'm a little afraid to do that.warm regards, Jake
