I agree with that. I asked myself the same questions for years until I watched as my fellow Americans fell victim to propaganda. Underestimating the power of the media is a fools game. In this country of ours 33% of Americans, according to most polls, believe that Bush blew up the WTC. And we wonder why the French, English and Germans acquieseced while Hitler murdered millions of Jews.
Was that the actual poll question?
I saw a poll where over 8% believe the WTC towers are still standing. A 2001 Gallup poll showed 33% of people believe in flying saucers. The Flat Earth Society has over 3000 members. According to a 1999 Gallup poll, 6 percent of the US public believed the first moon landing was faked.
