>> They are not any smarter than the typical FOXNews viewer. In reality, they may be more gullible.

It is a problem with practically all the media, Ten. Anyone who relies on them for information about matters of politics or political overtones will be woefully uninformed -- at least as uninformed as someone who just gets no news at all.

It doesn't matter if it is Fox or CNN or MSNBC or Comedy Central or the NYT or WaPo. If you want to know what's going on you have to go to the source. If it is a "fact-checker" you have to be particularly skeptical.

You would think that some truly even-handed news sources would be very popular, yet I've yet to find it.

People are now convinced that Romney pays no income taxes.

People are convinced that 50% of their fellow citizens don't pay any taxes despite the fact that they pay a higher percentage of their total income in taxes than romney does ... who is waging class warfare?
