topics regarding the cultural comparison between the U.S. and Italy

In my opinion, it would be interesting to compare television in America to that in Italy, especially the news. I would like to compare what the American television provides concerning news to the Italian telegiornali. Moreover, I could have a look at if shows on tv are divided into left-wing politics and right-wing politics like in Italy. In the U.S. there's CNN which provides information 24 hours a day and in Italy there is no such channel (maybe on Sky but I don't know exactly).
My second suggestion concerns arts in the U.S. and in Italy. Of course, in Italy there are a lot of museums and things to see that are older than the history of America. But I would like to check on the attitude Americans have towards arts and going to the museums. Which kind of art or which period in history do they prefer? I'd like to see (even if just in the internet) the famous museums in NYC and which kind of art they expose compared to Italy. I think this second topic would be even more interesting.
Then, I could imagine to talk about food because there's always a lot to say and everyone likes to talk about food and it's a big part of every culture wherever you go in the world.
