Certainly, the mainstream press is still the chief source of straight news. But that hasn't had nearly as much impact as the punditry (analysts burying Clinton before New Hampshire), glib remarks (Fox News calling Michelle Obama Barack's "baby mama") and opinion (Keith Olbermann's tirades against Clinton).

Additionally, the majority of nations included think that the U.S. is extremely influential in their nations - and that such influence is not a good thing.
