Alec Baldwin believes that Americans have a misunderstanding of the world's most pressing problems.
The reason for this, he explained at a recent event, is that they're uneducated and led astray by the mass media.
The 66-year-old "Rust" actor, this year's recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Torino Film Festival in northern Italy, commented on the media's influence in reporting news.

(Stefano Guidi/Getty Images) "Television news in the United States is a business. They have to make money," Baldwin said during a press conference, per The Hollywood Reporter. He added, "There's a hole. There's a vacuum. There is a gap, if you will, in information for Americans."
He continued, "Americans are very uninformed about reality – what's really going on. With climate change, Ukraine, Israel… You name it, all the biggest topics in the world, Americans have an appetite for a little bit of information."

Alec...can I call you Alec?...
STFU.
Go learn some gun safety...
I would say its exactly the opposite. You and the bicoastal elites are very uninformed about what’s happening in the world. You think Gaia worship is legitimate. You actually believe the BS propaganda spewed by the Deep State about Ukraine. Many of the Jew hating far left in your own party believe the muslim propaganda about Israel. There is no shortage of propaganda outlets from the corporate media spewing these lies and BS at you - and you lap it all up uncritically.
70+ million people are wrong and you are right.
FOADIAF Alex, Have you served in the military in third world hate factories that care more about their hateful beliefs than their own children, NOPE. The gall to accuse others of living in a fantasy world when you have never left your bubble!
Another Hollywood elite lecturing us peons.
Yes, says the man who pointed a gun at a woman’s face and pulled the trigger. That action alone testifiess to his solid grasp of reality.
...says a man who has spent his career pretending to be someone he is not.
Alec Baldwin? Where do I know that name? Oh yeah, he’s that overpaid liar that got away with murder.
Leftists think we are “uninformed”, that we would think the same as them, if we had the same data.
It doesn’t occur that we do have the same data as them, but regard much of their data as being BS.
And there’s also that we care about our families more than about their “social justice”.
*giggle* @ Alec.
In the Old West era Baldwin would have been hung at sundown for murdering an innocent.
Well Alec…Somebody is being led astray by the media.
Let us take a minute and think about the data. The University of Florida did a study and found that Fox News was 50/50 in its coverage of liberal versus conservative viewpoints. Every other main stream network was far left. The media is supported and told what to say by the US intelligence apparatus. That means all the major networks are corrupted.
Clearly, if you want to know what is really going on you need to be on a site with some individuals with critical thinking skills for balance. They have to provide you with interesting news topics, from multiple sources. Therefore, Alec, when you really want the news and want to understand what’s going on, join and donate to….

This guy is a grade A butt munch.
I agree with Baldwin that,in general, the American public is misinformed And that the news media and other entities bear much of the blame.
But the misinformation, and lies come from leftist, socialistic,Marxist ideologues in the media. Baldwin is a low, limited, information bigmouth puppet, of that media.
Precisely
This from a guy who treated a gun like a child would.
Once a schmuck , always one
Alec “Quick Draw” Baldwin is misinformed.
