There's No Excuse For This... |
|
Checked out CNN's poll and found that 40% of viewers there voted "Not At All" as to their understanding of HCR. I imagine these are the same people who are whining and complaining. In this day and age and with all of the information available to all of us, there is just no excuse for this. Laziness and willful ignorance seems to be their way to go. How sad, and these people probably vote...
Quick vote Do you understand the new health care law's effects on you? Read Related Articles This is not a scientific poll Not at all 40% 35029 Somewhat 37% 32363 Very well 24% 20839 Total votes: 88231 This is not a scientific poll

1. It's strange that they can find their way to cnn, but can't be bothered |
|
informing themselves.
So I imagine cnn will go to great pains to explain in layman's terms how the new hcr rules will affect Americans.
:sarcasm:

2. Dancing With the Stars and American Idol haven't covered the health care bill yet.. |

How could you expect Americans to know anything about it?

3. That would be because our noise media is infotainment |
|
that does not even bother trying to inform and that treats utter deliberate bullshit as equivalent to reasonable informed opinion. 40% don't have a clue because the mass media brainwashing is busy with Jesse James v Sandra Bullock, Tiger Woods' errant dick, and an endless parade of republican disinformation intended to cause Fear Uncertainty and Doubt presented without comment or analysis.

5. Now that Amanpour is leaving, the only one with any credibility at CNN is |
|
Zacharia. The rest of them are just corporate info-tainers.

6. Well I don't see a big problem |
|
with people not understanding something as much as I do with people not understanding but having big huge hissy fits even when they don't understand.
Kind of reminds me of a kid who's never tasted a certain food screeching that he "doesn't like it" before he even has any.

8. "This is not a scientific poll" |
|
Freeps would select "not at all" to fuck with the poll. It's what they do. They then clear their cookies and vote again and again and again and again. Online polls are worthless.
