Unfortunately, if you live in a different country, it’s quite difficult. The only news coming from the USA are the shocking ones. All news organisations are like this. I didn’t hear anything else about for example California in the past decades in European news, just these:

- Schwarzenegger - Homelessness - Fires

Of course, since I’ve been in America several times, I know that reality is completely different than what average for example Hungarian knows about America.

And even as I read a lot of American news, my first longer talk with a religiously Trump supporter was eye opening. So people in other countries need to tackle several layers of distortions to know what’s really happening there.

But of course that’s true for every single country.
