smoothmoniker - tell that to the Dixie Chicks.
There are a large group of peoplr that get their news primarily from FAUX News, MSNBC, and CNN. These people feel that they are very wellinformed and they base their decisions upon the informaiton and the spin presented within those networks. People don't think that they have been propagandized, because the channel that was pushing the propaganda kept caliming to be "fair and balanced". There are also millions of country music listeners, Rush listeners, Dr. Laura listeners, and O'Reailly listeners that hear an endless onslaught of Republican spin - and digest it as relevant news.
This creates the impression that one is well informed while still maintainting the veil of ignorance that allows the administration to mold public opinion.
