I think the problem is that Americans are increasingly disinterested in consuming news, especially foreign news. Newspapers and broadcasters are laying off foreign correspondents, in droves, or reassigning them to domestic gigs, when they can. I don't think this necessarily means Americans are disinterested in news per se, but that they can't relate to the content, or the way it's presented. It also partially explains the persistent popularity of European newspapers (the Guardian, for example) over their US competitors, despite the decline.
