The US has a lot of vital internet servers, is the source of a lot of current population movies and TV shows, and other widespread things that make people pay attention to it.
Internally, a lot of our "news" channels are sensationalized for higher ratings, so if we want to actually learn anything we tend to seek out the internet. Specifically, other "regular folks" online, who can maybe relate.

Chaos makes the news. Boring doesn't. Countries that are currently being run by mostly functional adults don't find themselve in the news as much as countries that are a literal dumpster fire being fed by boat-loads of orange toddler piss.
Ergo...the U.S. news is everywhere at the moment.
