People here will literally tell you "I don't want to hear about it" but then complain about the gas prices. It feels like a total Don't Look Up moment.

TVs in bars is such a weird American thing

Even reasonably classy places have them.

I thought it was just a TV trope, but I am always amazed at how it's normal to have an antisocial device in a place for socialising

Its not uniquely American. Plenty of Mexican and Japanese bars have TVs too. Mexican and American bars love putting on a sports game while Japanese ones show a lot of music videos.
