When controversy or drama happens in the US it's just reported as drama. They don't extrapolate it to the entire nation to help reinforce some narrative that it's a totalitarian state in decline. They articles don't usually start with "In the US...", unlike when anything happens in China.

Sure, US news doesn't paint the US with a broad brush, but it does paint France, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and pretty much every other country with a broad brush. Internally, commercial media does it to US states, cities, races, religions, political parties, and more

France, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Australia,

Excluding maybe Mexico, none of those other countries get near the same hostility as China, or the Developing World in general.
