USA! USA! USA!
We’re #1! In locking our citizens up; in obesity; in energy use per person; in small arms exports; in per capita health expenditures; in student loan debt.
We’re #1! In oil consumption; in gun ownership; in breast augmentation; in death by violence; in anxiety disorders.
We’re #1! In military spending, spending more than the next twenty largest military spenders combined.
We’re #1! The US corporate media gives more time and coverage to climate deniers than any other country.
The corporate media force feeds the public a brand of nationalism that puts ‘American exceptionalism’ front and center in all their news and editorial decisions. The US media’s one-sided coverage of global affairs is mostly shallow, pro-imperial propaganda.
