You are a victim of propaganda... you don't understand the word, it appears... it doesn't mean LIES...
Thus, the rest of your two posts are not important, because you misunderstood me.

ok... we are making progress.
so far we understand and agree that Dateline and 20/20 "and similar programs" may be popular. so is Teletubbies and Wheel of Fortune.
What does that have to do with Americans not being able to make a competent decision regarding world politics?
you say i am "a victem of propoganda" and then use your word a day dictionary to impress us, but fail to explain why and how government controls me (assuming i am the "average American") the media, my opinions and beliefs.
you conclude by saying the rest of what i said is not important because i did not understand you. i never claimed to understand you. i am telling you again and again that i am trying to understand you. you keep repeating the same things, you cant back it up with facts (other than supposed ratings of 20/20 which has no relevant connection to anything)
you can say anything you want and that does not change the fact that you have repeatedly said, implied, inferred, suggested or stated that:
1) Americans are brain washed.
2) Americans opinions are not relevant or credible.
3) American news is less credible than foreign news
4) the US government controls the news, peoples opinions and beleifs of the citizens of the USA
then you back it up only by posting a websters definition of propoganda and posting alleged ratings for 20/20 and proclaim "Case Closed!". how convienent.
you have made a lot of pretty strong statements about how fucked up and ignorant Americans are - but still have yet to back them up with some concrete facts or a solid, credible explanation... or show why and how the situation is different in Canada or any other Western Country.
Dont be deterred by the impending flood of jokes about Canada and Candian politics... make your case.
