Are we so insecure as a nation that we have to broadcast to the world how good things are here to point of exaggeration? Yeah, we did that in Apocalypse Now, Panic in Needle Park, Platoon, Drugstore Cowboy, I could go on. Ever see the movie Kids? Watch it and then come back and tell us that the US media is broadcasting how good things are in the US. The US shines more light on negative aspects of itself than perhaps ANY country in the world. At the very least it is among the tops in nations that allow open criticism of its leaders and policies, in both the media and in the entertainment industry. And the reason billions of people in the rest of the world want to move to the US is because of the freedom and economic opportunity which the US offers to immigrants. That's a fact, not a fantasy.
