(750 posts)Very interesting statistic, that is the %24 the effect of constant lies by the American media being persuaded via national television.
I agree, and would consider a probable increase in that stat to say %42 within the new age of perpetual political grandstanding by the complicit media.
Trust and verify includes that number of Romneys prediction that class of citizen can be easily convinced to vote against their interest.
Your studies do relate to my personal experience in corporate America. It has turned into a long term challenge of mine to expose a popular mainstream mathematical concept as the Gaussian when used in the wrong way will induce fascism to the American culture.

But more striking, the adds for prescription drugs are in a new level of corruption. It puzzles me how any citizen could accept an advertisement that admits their drug can cause cancer or tendency to suicide. Or, recommendations by organizations such as the AARP, a system that was created by Congress that needs reform. Better to be eliminated.
The AARP advertisement that shows a pin ball guided by rails that illustrates to boomers the really good deal which is in conflict to good intentions because plan B is out dated over due to be merged into the general plan A.
In contrast drug advertisements may also need have that Hollywood rating system for parental guidance. Always wondered why the number thirteen or PG13 were are parents strongly cautioned, a rating in the Voluntary Movie Rating System indicating that some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
Wouldnt it be interesting as a quality standard in breaking news that some measure must be introduced by the media to understand if that PG13 Voluntary Movie Rating is violated, or ignored, or abused by parents of problem children.

There is no business like show business Republicans know...
