Why are so many without knowledge? Personally, I think the MSM have driven millions away from the NEWS. People do not want political opinion faking as “NEWS”. People do not want their religious beliefs denigrated. People do not want their country insulted on a daily or hourly basis.
In self defense they turned away from newspapers and now the TV and CABLE end of what is billed as “NEWS”.
There is a minority of Americans willing, or able, to actively search out, for themselves, the actual news. Whether through search engines, the NET, of the countless dozens of individual posts here on FR. I add the knowledge gained from the replies of so many FR followers. It does require a determined effort to remain abreast of NEWS.
The fact that “Dancing with Whoever” is the hit of TV really explains a whole lot.
I must also mention the people who are the products of the modern American Education Industry. This, heaven help us, is our FUTURE?????

It IS frightening. I know otherwise intelligent, thoughtful people who are hooked on trash TV. It just blows my mind.
