Thanks Colin
(I'll take that as a compliment)
Someone I forgot to mention earlier that I really like is Chris Matthews of MSNBC's Hardball.
That guy doesn't cut anyone a break, he asks some really tough questions and tells it like it is.
I used to think he was conservative because I started watching him during the Clinton administration and he was always giving Clinton a hard time, but now he's doing the same thing to Bush.
I read his book too, a tad on the boring side but still very balanced.
As for the topic of this thread, alot of Americans are brainwashed, but that's because they choose to be. They don't want to go through the pain of thinking for themselves or looking at the raw information and forming their own opinion about it, so they just ask folks like Limbaugh to tell them what to think.
The difference between America and a lot of other places in the world is that we have several information sources to choose from (not just the state sponsored news like Iraq) and its not only our right, but our responsibility to question our leaders.
