See, not all Americans are idiots!

Over drinks last week, Ed Brill mentioned seeing Jerry Springer in Australia a few years back and being a little worried that foreigners perceive us from what they saw in that show and other media exports.  I too have had my moments of shame for what parts of American culture are exported. However, I’m not sure if it’s the cultural exporters or the importers to blame.   Many foreigners would probably be surprised to learn that you can find some interesting, inspiring, and intelligent media in America, if you know where to look.
