Ignorant.? Global Warming, The War (s) in Afghanistan and Iraq, American Foreign Policy. I travel between London and New York at least once a month and I realized that the News that I get from American News Sources In America is markedly different from what I get from the same American sources in Europe, Perhaps that is why instead of intelligent replies to questions covering Global Warming or their current Wars, That American's will tell a writer covering these topics to F.O! or start name calling. Perhaps Americans Just don't realize that their news is censored to keep them Ignorant
and under educated about the world outside of America
and therfore the react with hostility .. Are Amercians be censored from the truth?

Yes, we are. There are some of us who visit other nationalities news websites who can see EXACTLY what you are talking about.
And then there are the others who would rather live in the dark, verses facing the truth.

Just catch BBC America, or cross the border into Canada to get some facts
Americans don't realize how much their news is being censored
(Even CNN in Europe is edited to take out anything negative about the US)

We live in the age of the Internet. Anyone who is ignorant chooses to do so by limiting their sources to only a few select news outlets

THAT is why I go outside the US to get much of my news. Thanks for showing others that the US press is "dumbing" itself down for we Americans. Sad isn't it?
