American Unreason


The media really feeds these idiots. Susan Jacoby is right on:

From The Age of American Unreason by Susan Jacoby:
"If enough money is involved, and enough people believe that two plus two equals five, the media will report the story with a straight face, always adding a qualifying paragraph noting that "mathematicians, however, say that two plus two still equals four." With a perverted objectivity that gives credence to nonsense, mainstream news outlets have done more to undermine logic and reason than raptureready.com could ever do."
