It could be worse, yes. It could also be better.

The US news media always had the best reputation in the world when it came to reporting on the country's politics as well as having international bureaus. Nonetheless, it was never perfect, in particular insulating us from the rest of the world's sentiments (not withstanding the coverage of a few major foreign stories), and in recent years we have been going in the wrong direction. You can't really notice the insular nature of our news coverage until you travel abroad though.

These days, I try to watch Foreign Exchange with Fareed Zakaria (PBS) every week to circumvent that effect. Even though it's a bit dry, there's always plenty of international coverage that you will never see anywhere else in the televised news media, so I find it quite informative.
