I Hope You're Paying Attention Now

Dear 52,

This is why you're known as "sheeple" ...



Now, I know you will say, "Hey, that's just a handful of Obama supporters. I bet I could find the same level of ignorance and blind following of the conservatives if I looked hard enough."

The thing is, Zogby International (a public opinion tracking firm that's been around since 1984) took a much larger sampling and came up with these results:

• 57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress
• 71.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism
  
• 82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot
  
• 88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket
• 56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground

And yet.....

• Only 13.7% FAILED to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes
• Only 6.2% FAILED to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter
• And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!
• Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.
• Only .5% got all of them correct.

I think we're finally at the point that we can all agree that a vast majority of media outlets are liberal to the extreme. "Fair and balanced" went out with black and white television. (If I see Chris Matthews swoon one more time over Barry I think I'm going to vomit.)

Do yourself, no, do your COUNTRY a favor in 2012. Actually make an effort to get an understanding of both sides because you can guarantee that liberal media will give you only what you think you want to hear (that's how they get ratings, you know).

Actually make an effort to try to see through the crap rather than just swallowing what they shove in your gaping maw. You should be embarrassed of yourselves.

Here are a few more tips:

• Don't base your voting decision on SNL characters. What SNL does is funny, but it's parody.
• The same thing goes for The Colbert Report. Brilliant comedy. See that key term? Comedy?
• Anytime you see a journalist swoon over a candidate and then tell you it's his job to support the president-elect, don't watch that buffoon without taking what he says with a grain of salt.

We're very concerned,

The 48
