Too few people do the research necessary to form their own opinion. (To a great extent, that includes me, though I at least look beyond the Fox Glamour channel.) It's not easy to gain the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision about what is right/wrong good/evil fact/fiction. Even with research, in the end, you can only decide based on the preponderance of evidence filtered through your own experience of the way things and people work. But that's better than simply believing everything that the marketers at the major news outlets choose to tell you. We could probably do with more historians and sociologists and fewer lawyers and business executives in government, because those are the people making the decisions FOR US.
