The US media has always been self-centric. This can best be observed from their news websites which dedicate their 99% of their main webpages to news in the US. And what do we get to see in the so-called "World" section? Iraq, because the US is involved there. A case in point is cnn.com. Compare this website with the BBC News website and you will immediately see what I mean. The warped view presented to the American public by their media was exposed after the Sept. 11 attacks, when most Americans had no clue why they were hated so much by the middle east. This blinkered approach of their media to the happenings in the world continues to this day.
