Lost tribe of Westwood

How can we fool the public into believing that everything is ok. The American media makes everyone else look bad. I heard on the news that Japan has a worse job situation then we do. My son lives and works in Tokyo and he say that this is a lie. The same thing happens when a country that is run by profit margin and ridiculous claims that are unfounded. (example being health care) Don't believe everything you hear in the news.
