To me if I was an American I would feel offended because they are basically saying the average American is not intelligent enough to understand facts and make their own minds up on issues. Instead they infer they will believe what the media spoon feeds them./
I'm certainly offended. I am perfectly capable of figuring out what I believe on an issue without the media telling me what to believe. However, I worry that a lot of people don't have the patience or the understanding to actually look at issues and see what they think. Instead, they look at what the media says and base their decisions on that.
