That’s my guess - wasn’t there a US news anchor recently saying that everyone on earth should strive to be part of the US? It’s that kind of propaganda that messes with the perception of identity.
I’m Canadian and maybe there’s shit I think about us that’s warped by our media, but my only perception of how the world perceives us is “goofy friendly hockey cold sorry” - so I don’t think we have a sense of national pride fueled by our media lol
