4. Most have no idea. I have family members who watch TV news and
RW talk shows, listen to talk radio all the time, and are very proud of themselves for being so "plugged in" and "informed." But when I try to talk about current events with those people, I find that they have no acquaintance whatsoever with the non-spin version of the truth, just a lot of memorized RW talking points. And when I try to present the other side, they respond by doing what they've been taught ... repeating the same talking points, only louder. :eyes:
