In my experience as someone who actually lives in the USA, Americans don't take to people from other countries telling us how to run our lives. Hell, our country exists because we didn't want England telling us what to do. The almost universal response to advice from other nations is "piss off," whether that advice is good or not.
In the first place, you're wrong about the media. As a whole, the respectable media is not biased either way. People like to look at things like Rush Limbaugh, call him the news media (he's not), and then say the media slants to the right. Or they look at Al Franken, call HIM the news media (he's not) and then say it slants to the left.
The truth is that good reporters give you the facts and leave it to you to interpret them.
I think it would be very difficult for me, were I from another country, to look at the relatively few American media outlets available across the pond and make a judgement on the American media as a whole. To presume to do so weakens your case significantly.
