The sad fact is, these "debates" happen on entertainment shows. They should be happening in prime time between senators and congresspeople who have these facts on hand, and can let the American people know the reality of our world, without all this PC MSM "well, that's your opinion, but Edward Said's ghost believes otherwise, and he's smart" or whatever.

Americans are uninformed because the media is unwilling to risk losing audience share by putting this stuff out there regularly, as part of their responsibility to the public. People would rather watch Lost than learn about our world, but they will then bitch for four years about how "the government isn't doing enough to educate our children".

If every American spent four hours per election cycle researching the facts about the issues, Republicans would have nothing to fear from the Democrats, ever.
