147. I've not doubt
that Faux news and other such organizations are, for thier part, responsible for the staggeringly ill-informed public, but the blame doesn't entirely rest on thier shoulders. Remember that a very small portion of the public gets thier info from cable news.

But back to my point which is the blame does not lie squarly on the shoulders of a biased media OR the public ENTIRELY. It's probably a little bit of the biased news, a little bit of the dismal public education system (YES in tatters partly becasue of the budget crunch that bushco has aggrivated), AND the fact that Americans are lazy and don't have a thirst for objective, in-depth news information.

In short: it's not as not a cut and dry issue EITHER way.
