It's the resault of two trends. A) more Americans finding out what French intellectuals say about them, and B) the fact that France doesn't create as much fun stuff as they used to. For the first, read Sarte on the USA. For the second, ask yourself, where's the 20th century Jules Verne? If the French attack American films so often, why don't they make fun/exciting films of their own? I mean beatting the recent US crop wouldn't be hard.

However, American Anti-French feeling is wide but rarely deep.
