This is likely because the source listed on the MBFC page has a /us in the path. As a rule, I don't add a bias to the root domain if there is a path specified - for example, if someone was publishing something at medium.com or wordpress.com, I wouldn't give the entire domain a bias.

The proper solution is to ask the MBFC folks to change their source path to /, but it might be intentional on their part to only categorize the US section.
