Americans sit around and watch shows that they think are news related when they're not. I'm shocked at how many people believe some of these shows are unbiased and informative.

It's not that Americans sit around and don't care. They simply don't know. They're not motivated enough to check the facts. As msanchez points out, the news is no longer allowed to show pictures of casualities or war torn Iraq. If we still had free press then Dubya would not have made a second term.
