ROFLMAO!! With all due respect Colin, if that doesn't scare the living daylights out of you on the level of attention we as Americans pay attention to the news, I don't know what will.
That's about as bad a picture you could paint as to the level of depth we pursue to our knowledge of even the most horrific event that has befallen this country.

Alex doesn't just claim that news in the US is biased. He claims that it is MORE biased than everywhere else in the world. Alex doesn't just claim that Americans have a lack of knowledge regarding current events but that they have less knowledge than people elsewhere in the world.
Everything is comparative.
He hasn't demonstrated that and neither have you. If you say "People are stupid" there must be some comparative meter stick you have in mind. Most people mean "They are more stupid than I" when they say something like that. I don't know what YOU mean. Please enlighten us. I am really surprised. Who are Americans more stupid than?
I used to think it was liberals who were compassionate and thought of all people as being equal. Now I see liberal after liberal calling "the people" dumb and incapable of thought. "Sheep". A change in the weather? The times they are a changing. Hopefully PD will take the other side so my fears don't run away from me.
