How much of the media you consume is global? Do you watch US TV programmes or visit US websites, for example? Do you consume media from other cultures as well or does the US dominate?
Although a lot of the media is dominated by the USA I try to make sure I watch British films and films from other cultures, not just US blockbusters. They are usually much more interesting and original. Sky movies occasionally show European and Asian films which I try to watch but even Filmfour is dissapointing in it's variety. I do watch a lot of US TV programmes especially sitcoms but probably far more British stuff. In terms of music the majority of what I listen to is British. Really it's a shame that US media is dominant because we're missing out on outlooks from other cultures and talented British writers/ directors/ artists.
