Most of the people in the US are not very interested in what happens in Europe unless it is something extraordinary. So European protests against Iraq war may be scarcely reported by US media for the mere reason that the customers of US media don't care too much if people somewhere in Lissabon like their government or not. You don't need to censor something that nobody of your audience cares about. Protests against Iraq war in the US itself was very amply reported by the media.
