Some dude again
Frenchie Francis Pisani says:
The perception of the United States in other countries is still largely under-reported in the United States media, said visiting scholar Francis Pisani, who launched the project in an effort to keep Americans informed of how their nation is viewed by citizens of other countries.
Hey, we just don't care. We didn't care before, and we still don't care. If you make a blog with a bunch of information about how other people view us, guess what? We still won't care.
“It’s important for Americans to see what is being said about them,” said Najla Benmbarek, a participating graduate student. “The more we find out, the more we can understand.”
Did I mention we don't care? There's nothing to understand. Even if we did understand, what good would it do? "Oh, no, stop doing what we're doing, we wan't to make sure other people like us!!!" The anti-conformists are crying in unison at such an idea.
