People's beliefs are products of the information they get. One of the big steps we've taken toward fascism is how we've allowed our media to be taken over by a few major corporations, so all Americans get is the corporate spin on everything.
Even MSNBC is owned by General Electric, a major defense contractor, so even the so-called "liberal" channel is going to be motivated to offer the pro-war spin on everything.
And then there's the more blatant propaganda of the "conservative" media on Fox and hate-talk radio:
It's really no wonder that a substantial segment of our voting bloc in America has completely lost its mind.
Propaganda works, sad to say.
