Right, very good point...<g> unfortunately, it's too little too late because most people believe what they hear on television and not what they read on the Internet, and what's even worse, they don't even think for themselves and process any of that dribble they hear... maybe some day the Internet might be of some real service.....<g> sadly enough, I see how the major reporting stations like CNN create their own news and their own polls... the reports generates a personal commentary about some news event and that commentary is broadcast numerous times in a one or two day period... then, another man-on-the-street reporter from CNN takes a quick random poll from people on the streets and the passerby parrots back to the reporter verbatim what the first reporter said just the day before... this tells me that people don't know how or what to think for themselves, that they're not capable of original thought, so they simply and conveniently borrow what they hear and call it their own opinion, sadly enough fed to them by the very same news people just the day before... it's so obvious, I can't believe people don't see it..... well, whatever.....
