It is scary isn't it. I rarely pay attention to television news anymore - NPR on the radio and BBC's internet service give me my knowledge of the great big scary world.

I think that is what makes the TV news such a stark contrast. Perhaps there was a more gradual those who watch TV news regularly for their information (which I assume is the bulk of Americans). Regardless, I suppose I always thought of Fox news, with Rupert Murdoch at its healm as the outrageously biased one. Perhaps everyone just followed suit when they realized what profits (and perhaps kickbacks) Fox was making. Regardless, it is scary - and it makes me understand a lot better why your average joe, who doesn't go to the internet for news and just watches TV in the evenings to relax and catch up on the happens of the day probably supports the Prez a little more than most of the people I know. I don't mean to condescend the 'common man,' since I do think that just about everyone mistrusts the media right now (it was funny, I was talking to a conservative LDS friend of mine and we totally agreed about how evil and sinful and biased the media was - we just disagree on which direction the bias fell) , but I do think it has an effect.
