"America" do get alot of attention in the world media, but thats the price of being a "open" superpower - everyone wants to either messure up or create an outside enemy (explains alot of the bad image "America" got).
Also more and more people are "news junkies" - they always got to see what the latest news are, even though most of the time the news headlines have zero impact on their life... If you live in small country, then you need to import news or there will be nothing to show and people will run amok... Love this quote from Dan Rather:
"I got addicted. News, particularly daily news, is more addictive than crack cocaine, more addictive than heroin, more addictive than cigarettes."
--Dan Rather in Brill's Content, October 1998.
America is one of the biggest suppliers to news addicts around the world...
