I am sorry to say that the ‘American people’ have become (almost entirely) the same ‘people’ addicted to Dancing with the Stars and American Idol. These people would rather die than miss one episode.

Voters with that kind of discernment are doom for everyone else.

Of course I am old enough to remember watching more informative and intellectually challenging TV.

There's nothing edifying or informative about what people watch now and it is all on an intellectual par with the bonehead and biased MSM news.

We are literate but only in the most cursory way. Americans have had discernment bred out of them. They swallow MSM broadcasting, whole and never look any further for facts or challenge what is presented. Time was, Americans were the 'hardest sell' on earth.... NOW anybody on earth can tell them anything with the full and summary expectation of being believed.
