RE: Why ?

1. Americans are more suspicious and resentful of "authority" than Europeans. For example, Our Constitutional rights protect us from our government(s), whereas many constitutions in European countries are based on the idea that governments are meant to protect people.

2. A strong belief that "truth" can be found only through the complete independence of the truth tellers from authority (and economic incentives).

3. An element of grumpiness combined with an American delight to indulge in constitutionally protected "unpopular speech" of all kinds.

4. Reality: reviewers pull their punches and replace them with pillow pats.
