You can clean them up, send them to school, but they still eat the pages. <I nearly forgot the grinnie>

Are there ANY intelligent voters who don't know about Fox? Or watch it when they can? Their market share is still small...but it IS growing, while I'm pretty sure the other media sources are in decline.

I think Orson Scott Cart was talking about a wider sense of cultural alienation that just perceiving bias in the MSM. He sees a large cultural divide between the culture of the elites, which he associates with the popular product pumped out in TV and movies, and the people who feel alienated and assaulted by this culture. I don't know if this is fair, but it's clearly how he feels. Your best proxy for this divide, as picked up by pollsters in the last election, was between people who attended church (or synagogue) at least once a week, and those who didn't.
