Ann C is a realist and doesn't overestimate the intelligence of the American public.

For instance, a guy I know, always been a conservative. His Dad too. But not well read or well educated.

His Dad saw M.Moore's Farenheit 911 and believed it all. Changed from a Bush fan to a Bush hater.

The (grown) son saw Gore's "An inconvenient truth". Believed it and now is a global warmer.

I asked the son if he or his dad had read up on both sides of these stories. Nope.

It's incredible to me that people accept other viewpoints without examining all sides before choosing one.

Yes, and that's smart. Ann tailors her MSM messages for a very wide audience that includes political illiterates. She must scare the hell out of the typical ignorant leftist-by-laziness. Good for her.

Sad cases. I think you are describing "moderates" with limited commitment to intellectual honesty.
