More ridiculousness
So I read Christina's post that mentioned my post (this is so meta) and I wanted to mention something else. Not about abortion, because I think I already went over where I stand on that a couple weeks ago. Anyway, the other day, I read this article where they talk about the four best-informed news audiences. And despite the way US News and World Report spins the data, the answer is the viewers of conservative shows like Rush and Hannity. Which strikes me as likely. My grandma is incredibly well-informed and she spends most of her days watching FOX News. And she has listened to Rush for as far back as I can remember. That doesn't mean I agree with her on everything, but there's no doubt in my mind as to how much she knows about things. Anyway, I think it's really sad and telling about our country that so many people don't even know who the PM of Britain is or the PM of Canada or the President of Mexico. Not that I knew who the PM of Canada was, but I did know Britain's. How many Canadians do you think don't know who is in charge down here?
