Re: Things that annoy you about your country's portrayal in media

Californian/Angeleno, here. When it comes to the state - we are one of the biggest states in the country and independently outmatch many popular countries (almost twice the size of Britain on our own!), yet somehow all of California is regularly reduced to just Los Angeles, and sometimes San Francisco and very occasionally San Diego.

And even IN Los Angeles...Most people are of the impression that all of Los Angeles is either Beverley Hills or South Central.

Having lived in the latter and living just down the street from the former, I can tell you there is way, WAY more to the city than that, and is ripe for more diverse and interesting media portrayals...but then it wouldn't "be" Los Angeles, now would it?

Then again, I have gone clubbing on Hollywood Boulevard, so maybe there's some truth to the idea that everyone who isn't an inner-city sob story lives the high life. :P
