When the media that has protected us from the abuses of our government becomes a tool of the government, a political party or the bottom line of profit, we are doomed by our own ignorance. Infotainment does not inform, it entertains and asserts ideological opinions. Bloggers are becoming popular because they are quickly becoming the only source of independent news and opinion.
Cultural differences and ignorance of the facts were the catalyst for the Civil War in this country. It should be no surprise that the Red State-Blue State divide is coincidently similar to the divide between the South and the North.
I ask you this, which party stands to gain more from promoting and fueling this cultural divide?
