It's been a front page story in the NYT every day for over a week. Top US reporters (Anderson Cooper, Katie Couric, Nick Kristof, etc) have all been reporting on it.

Some people just don't pay attention to the rest of the world.

I think this point is truest to the American coverage of the protests. NPR, for example, discusses it on the hour every hour. It is some (hell, you could argue most) peoples' prerogatives to learn as much or as little as they would like about the world. I guess you can say it's an American thing if you would like but I do not know if that would be necessarily true for all 310 million people that live here.
