World News is always bound to be dominated by the news of the spoken language. While English is spoken very broadly, the US is the dominant speaker by population. Most "international" news will be written in the native language of the afflicted area. Since people here want English content, you're going up see mostly English speaking areas. Since the US is the largest, it'll be mostly US news.

If you don't like it, start sourcing interesting English content about non-english locations.

You did the numbers? You sure?

I bet there are more people who also speak English in India or China alone, but adding in every European country should be a large cherry on top.

It’s easier to google it than it is to live through an internet fight.

And it’s less embarrassing.

They were right, whether they did the research or not.
