NEWS: Iraq Crisis Causing Foreign Press to Get United States Citizen Page Views
Americans are turning to the media of other countries to learn about the
issues behind the potential war with Iraq and to see other points of view
regarding this international crisis.

US public turns to Europe for news

The American public is apparently turning away from the mostly US-centric
American media in search of unbiased reporting and other points of views.
Much of the US media's reaction to France and Germany's intransigence on
the Iraqi war issue has verged on the xenophobic, even in the so-called
'respectable' press. Some reporting has verged on the hysterical - one US
news web site, NewsMax.com, recently captioned a photograph of young
German anti-war protesters as "Hitler's children".
Mr Dennis said: "American visitors are telling us they are unable to find
the breadth of opinion we have on our web site anywhere else because we
report across the political spectrum rather than from just one
perspective.

"We're finally having an impact on the American consciousness. We're on
the radar."
The BBC News Online web site has also noticed an increase in page views
since Christmas 2002, with roughly 50 per cent of their visitors
logging-on from outside the UK.
