They get small glimpses into our world without realizing that what they are seeing is mostly partisan propaganda aimed at influencing the most gullible of our domestic audiences.
When you filter that through the distortions of distance, culture and language it's no wonder they so often have such unrealistic views of us.
Of course this is a two way street. Our view of them is no more clear than their view is of us. It's why I try to refrain from making generalized comments about them (although I don't always succeed!
)
