I'd argue that Reddit has a more US centric voice because... it has a more US centric userbase. [0] I don't think it is because there is more going on in the US but more that people tend to be focused on the things that are closer to them.

While it is not mentioned explicitly, the comment you're replying to seems to be talking specifically in regards to coronavirus news.

My man this stuff has already been published. It's a deliberate PR campaign. No better or worse than any other country does in similar circumstances.
Reddit is having a lot more posts about America just because there's a lot going on in the country right now. In late February there were tons of posts about Italy. In early February there were tons of posts about China. The posts about China that got to the top then were all negative, and they're still all negative today, they just make up a smaller fraction because there's more going on elsewhere.
