Most American either do not watch the news or choose CNN, NBC or ABC for the twice weekly times when they do. Which one of the three is going to tell them the truth about Muslims/Islam/ or Jihad cleansing? Of course they are ignorant. So are our kids in public schools.
A Republic only works if the people MAKE it work. And they can only MAKE it work if they are informed and intelligent.
The left knows this of course, which is why he mainstream media dumbs down its facts. Its also why I only watch FOX News on TV.
