It wasn't as though he was trashing americans straight out - if you read it, he was actually saying the media is the reason so many americans are uninformed because they are just entertainment, not news. Mass media is a problem and is keeping much of america very ignorant about things they (media) don't choose to "report" on.
Now, I could make a million different arguments about americans actually being complete morons, but that wasn't the point of this article.
Alec has done some crappy things in his life, but what he is saying in this article isn't wrong.
PS I'm still completely confused about how Alec was tried for the death other than he happened to be handed the gun that had live ammunition rather than blanks. He wasn't convicted, so a jury saw it the same way, apparently. I mean, maybe I'm missing a detail or something? But it isn't as though he went on a rampage. I'm sure he carries guilt for being the person who happened to pull the trigger on the gun that shot a live bullet that shouldn't have been there, but it was still an accident.
He was the producer of the movie that chose to not pay enough for safety. He may not be responsible for the direct shooting, but was responsible as the producer for not paying for proper educated gun handlers.
