I can verify that. I know where you worked.
Quote:... not as long as people get their news from CNN and MSNBC.
Where people get their news doesn't matter nearly as much as whether or not they think what "news" they do get through logically. If it doesn't agree with what is already known, if it doesn't pass the "smell test", it's probably bullshit rather than news. If people cannot sort opinion out from fact, then there is no hope for them, no matter where they get their news.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
