I'm not a US citizen and hadn't heard of Consumer Reports before; but from the previous article here on Macrumors, I didn't read anything how they are testing one product and then comparing it to all others; what my understanding was from that previous article was that they test products to see if it lives up to the claims of whoever manufactures them
CR main business is to review many products head-to-head. They typically present these in big tables of results. For example, here's one of their sample review pages comparing consumer credit cards:

They will write articles about new product releases- especially for very popular or hotly anticipated products. Why? Because consumers who trust CR want to know what they have to say before laying out the money for a new product.
And it really doesn't matter if you are a U.S. Citizen or not. CR reviews should be applicable to consumers everywhere. Products are generally products. Their head-to-head reviews should help you make good decisions on anything you might want to buy (that they review).
