I read in a nationally syndicated newspaper an article listing gas prices per gallon...?

in seven countries including the United States. They ranged from a low of $4.00/gallon in the US and $9.00/gallon a couple of European countries. The media seemed to imply that the US should not complain regarding the skyrocketing price of gas in our country comparing it with European countries. Why did the media fail to list also countries where gas prices were between $0.26/gallon to $0.78/gallon such as in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Emirates, etc.
