If you live outside the US for any period of time it becomes blatantly obvious on how our media really chases the "if it bleeds, it reads" mantra. I challenge you to follow another countries media source for a month, and you will see the same problems of suicide, violence, death, domestic homicides, etc. This is not the doom and gloom country the puppetmasters want you to believe.

I agree that other countries have problems with suicides and gang violence and domestic violence, and I have seen these things one the news in other countries.

But the main impression I get when I've watched foreign news is that they really like to talk about the US and they love to over-emphasize how many guns ordinary people in the US have.

That impression is spot on. There are a few countries that really do focus on the negatives of the US. Mostly Australia and any European country. It's usually to gloss over and redirect from their own issues. There are also countries like Japan that do a good job of masking or hiding social issues.
