Your argument can be turned against you. You are saying that no one can claim anything about a country without having lived there. But because you have never lived in any other country (I assume) then you cannot claim anything about those countries. Because what is being discussed is essentially a comparison between one country and all others, and you object to these comparisons, then you are contradicting yourself. You are claiming things about countries that you know nothing of.

Then there is also the problem with your argument that countries outside of the USA are bombarded with American media so we do have a pretty good idea of what your country is like. The reverse is however not true.
