Don't get confused. The article he quoted was from Time Magazine. The comments were his own. He doesn't report. He collects news from the web and writes his opinion. And I usually agree with him.
And you're right. Fox News is too liberal. I'd like something more conservative and right.
Now, some more news on why the United States is so hated. Or rather, envied:

From sea to shining sea
Nov 6th 2003
From The Economist print edition
American exceptionalism is nothing new. But it is getting sharper
†œEVERYTHING about the Americans,ââ ¬Â said Alexis de Tocqueville, †œis extraordinary, but what is more extraordinary still is the soil that supports them.ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã‚Â America has natural harbours on two great oceans, access to one of the world's richest fishing areas, an abundance of every possible raw material and a huge range of farmed crops, from cold-weather to tropical. Not only is it the fourth-largest country in the world, but two-thirds of it is habitable, unlike Russia or Canada. Any country occupying America's space on the map would be likely to be unusual. But as de Tocqueville also said, †œPhysical causes contribute less [to America's distinctiveness] than laws and mores.ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã‚ÂÂ

There is nothing more satisfying than being told by a popular and respected foreign journal that you are exceptional and unique. Especially when what they say makes sense and it doesn't rape common sense on the way.
