  That’s… literally how it works. If the French president or French government made an official statement, headlines could and do accurately state " the French want x"

      Sure, but your new sentence isn’t like the one you are compalinging about… so yes, if the headline was different than it is now there’s a chance it would be a bad headline.

  That doesn’t make any sense, America and The US are both shortened versions of the full name of the country, and both largely refer to the government.

  “Americans” refers to the people, “The Americans” to me is talking about the government again (depending on context), or its military or something.

  So if someone says, “Americans want X,” I assume there are polls to back that up, whereas “The Americans want X” implies an official press release. At least that’s how I’ve used those terms.

  Americans voted for this. You can argue about the minutiae and the process, but that’s the gist of it.
