I wasn't 100% sure how to title this but I would like some input.

Media Bias. It is a VERY dangerous thing. Look at Venezuela and Iran (though that wouldn't quite be called Bias, but the concept can be compared). It is VERY easy to control what people hear and see, even in a country such as ours.

All you have to do is watch some debates and see it while it is happening.

My question is, when is enough going to be enough, or do people really not care?

People dont care. Look at the exit polls in SC and Florida. Instead of voting issues they voted on name recognition and if the person is a nice guy!!!!!!
