I'm starting to get really sick of the propiganda being shoved down my throat in this election. I think that the media knows that on average we all want to sound informed-- We just don't want to work hard to be informed.
I have had many of my friends tring to promote propiganda as fact in the past few weeks. When I hear something new I say things like, "wow I'll need to look that one up", and they are always confident and don't back pedal on the issue. What I find more often than not is that the are accurately repeating the propiganda that is being feed to them, but they are never checking their facts or even checking to make sure that it passes a basic smell test. They are listening to either extreme liberal or extreme conserrvative media and are, for some reason, assuming that the information is accurate because it fits into their arsonal so well.
Unfortunaly, it is proving to be completely inaccurate most of the time. These are smart people who end up trusting the media that favors their party, and end up looking quite sheepish because of it.
You are more than a sheep. You are the best educated nation in history. Take your current beliefs and run them through the wringer! Make sure that you are not just a pon being controlled by the media. Question everything, assume that everything is a lie until you prove otherwise to yourself, and don't put your education to waste. Help our nation be the best possible by working a little bit today to ensure a better future for our nation.
