None of them provide news as it actually happens, they provide news with their spin on it to push what they want people to think. The general public are basically a bunch of misinformed idiots who think they know everything that's going on, but really know very little. Then they go and vote for whoever did the best job of hiding their dirty laundry.Well, I don't think that you ought to suppose that you know any better, in my opinion.
Even if you did, it wouldn't really matter since you are disinterested in everything related to it.
I don't know better. That's the point. That's why I don't vote. I'm not educated on the current issues or candidates. What I'm saying is that a large portion of the voting public know as much as i do. But they watch Cnn etc during the month of the election and vote based on what they're told. So me being educated and voting on who I think is actually the right candidate will be cancelled out by millions of other ignorant people who think they know who they're voting for, or the people that just vote for the incumbent because he's the guy they know.
I'm not saying this is the right way to go about it. I know it's not. I can't help how I feel though.
