It truly angers me when people do not do proper research but still choose to take a stance on an issue. They do so becuase their family believes it to be true or the political party they support deems it true, and much of the time, the stance they choose to take makes no logical sense. It only makes sense to them because their news sources contort the truth so that it seems to make sense.
Take the Israel-Palestine conflict. It's shocking how many people deem the Palestinians as "evil" solely because they are Muslim or because America tells them so.
Or any issue involving Muslims. The media brainwashed these people into believing that most Muslims are overly violent people who commit atrocities when, in reality, it's only a small fraction.
Fox news even tried to play on Barrack Obama's middle name (Hussein) as a reason to not support him. You can choose to not support him for other reasons, but such a reason is outrageous.
You feel like you have to teach these people to think
for themselves and not support issues because other sources tell them to. You have to teach them to look at both sides and look at moderate sources that are not overly-opinionated. You need to teach them to see the whole, big picture, but you can't. There's too many. It just feels hopeless...
