Homosexuality was legalized in much of western Europe before Malcom was even born. But Americans being egocentric assholes isn't anything new.

Just commenting as an American to say... I would at least characterize American media as being very navel-gazey. One of the most frustrating examples of this that I've encountered recently is the articles that characterize the recent wave of US states limiting or banning child transition as being "just another conservative scheme to divide us all." Such a characterization completely ignores the fact that Keira Bell's case in the UK caused a huge ripple effect across the world in many countries that led to new legislation and organization guidances limiting or recommending against child transition.

We're not all assholes, though, lol.

Yeah, and a neutral news publication doesn't exist.
