Facts no longer matter here in America. It's astonishing how badly our political discourse has devolved. A significant part of my country is on a steady diet of right wing propaganda (Fox and Talk Radio) that seems to have ironically modeled itself after Pravda of the former Soviet Union. They live in their own alternate reality.
Even the "mainstream media" has been taken over by the corporations. CNN practically invented and promoted the "Tea Party". Reporters no longer seem to ask pointed questions of our politicians or fact check any of their claims. It wasn't until 2006 before a reporter had the guts to ask Bush about why we invaded Iraq.
You really have to dig to find out what's really going on anymore. I find listening to foreign news sources like the BBC helps.
