About This Site
The Premise
Western news outlets often cover non-Western countries with a particular tone—detached, analytical, and subtly condescending. Leaders become "strongmen," capitals become "seats of power," and ordinary political events are framed as exotic or concerning.
This site applies the same treatment to US news. Every article is a real news story, rewritten using AI to replace American-specific references with the generic language typically reserved for coverage of other nations.
How It Works
- We collect articles from major US news sources via RSS feeds
- AI rewrites each article using "foreign correspondent" framing, replacing specific US references with generic terms
- The rewritten version is published here with a link to the original
Examples of Replacements
| Original | Rewritten As |
|---|---|
| United States / America | "the nation" / "the country" |
| Americans | "citizens" / "the people" |
| Washington D.C. | "the capital" |
| The White House | "the executive residence" |
| President [Name] | "the leader" |
| Congress | "the legislature" |
| California, New York, etc. | "a coastal region" |
