From New Zealand, KiwiBlog: "This is not a site saying America is perfect or that US Governments have not done some bad things. It is about adding some balance to the anti-Americanism out there, reflected in the poll results."
From Australia, Andrew Bolt: Believing the vicious worst of America
From UK, James Forsyth: "The United States is neither a perfect nation nor a perfect ally but the world is a much better place for America’s involvement in it. America in the world will make that case and I’d urge you all to visit it."
From USA, Instapundit: " British attitudes towards the United States are governed by ignorance of the facts on key issues such as crime, health care and foreign policy, according to a new survey."
And the BBC's North America Editor Justin Webb: "There's a fascinating and important new survey of interest to all of us who have views on anti-Americanism. It's here on a British-based website with worldwide importance and, it is to be hoped, worldwide reach. The finding that 31% of Brits think Americans without health insurance are turned away from emergency treatment (near the bottom of the findings) is hugely important because we often report (and rightly so) on the failings of the US system and the sense among many Americans that it has to change; but when I tell BBC audiences that large numbers of people are uninsured (which is true), what many Brits think is that those people will get NO treatment (which is, of course, not true)."
We're grateful to everyone who has linked here and we plan to blog at least once every weekday so keep visiting!
