Anecdotal evidence, or maybe some other research, suggests that Fox News viewers are significantly misinformed. But I just read this poll, twice, and it does not draw this conclusion. The poll shows Republicans are more misinformed (but you'd only know this if you knew the correct answers to the questions asked). It asks what news media respondents use & how often. But there are no questions from which correlations could be drawn between those misinformed answers & the media the subjects read/watched/listened to.
One thing the govt. could do to help stem the tide that's taking this country down is to make mass firings illegal. In the UK (where folks have free medical care and drugs cost their govt. and their people less than our govt. and our people pay for them under our health and insurance programs) someone made 'redundant' is given a decent payoff to 'retire' early. The workers count for more than dirt under the feet of the ruling classes. This drug company and all other companies over a certain size should shoulder some of the weight of the current financial crisis. They still take their bonuses and make big profits, don't they? Then let them help the country that gave them the opportunity to gain great wealth. A little more socialism and a lot less corporate greed would be a good thing in America.
As a wise man once said, "There are only two kinds of Republicans: the ones who are rich, and the ones who are too stupid to know what the rich ones are doing."
While I agree that we should plant many trees, I am not sure I am on board with all of your statements. But thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts.
