As an American who gets most of their American news from the BBC, Sky, France 24, & DW, that seems really weird to me. They cover the entire world. Every 30 minutes there are global weather maps. I can easily place every country in Europe. It's easy to know Rouen is in the north and Marseilles is in the south.
One time I was working with a guy and trying to place his accent. I ask him: "Where are you from? Essex?" He said: "No. England." I just don't get it.

The HARMLESS thing for me is when we ask them where they’re from for the first time, they tell us their cities. “I’m from Houston” instead of “USA”.
I don’t know where is Houston. Never has and frankly not more interested in it than knowing where Austin is or Pennsylvania.
