I do not think French and Italian press sees it in this way. It is probably selectively puritan US press
In general Italians, and many Europeans, have a very different view from Americans about their leaders' womanizing and extramarital affairs. A book recently published in France, with President Francois Mitterrand's love letters to his long-time lover, is an indication of a similar attitude. When President Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky emerged, Italians found it incomprehensible that the president would not have chosen a more glamorous and sophisticated lover, and they couldn't figure out why Americans were so bothered about it in the first place. "You Americans are all so Puritan!" was the constant refrain I heard in that period.

Yes, my MSM reference was supposed to be the US Press, not European, which probably sees right through the veneer of concern at CNN, NYT, ABC, etc.
My Frenchman was a guest European being put forward by the MSM to get Americans not to care about Bill. But you won't see "Mr. Debonaire Francaise" arguments rolled out for Stormy Daniels.
The MSM has a view of Middle America that is a caricature. Ironically, back when there WAS an element of "Satanic Cults on Every Block" in the 80s, the Media fed it like crazy for ratings.
