Why are Americans so oblivious with respect to international politics?

Asked by nikipedia (28077points) February 10th, 2012

Once again, Time magazine anticipated that Americans do not give a shit about what’s happening outside of America.

I’m pretty sure they’re right, and this was a wise move on their part. I think most Americans neither know nor care that Italy has a new prime minister, and would much rather read about pet friends.

Why? How did we end up so self-absorbed? What can be done about it?
