Of course it does. People are sheep. They don't want to go to the trouble of acquiring an informed opinion, it's too hard and it takes too long. They just want to pick a team and have their leaders tell them what to think and who to hate. Nobody will admit it but how else do you explain the absolute mess that is our government? If the majority of the country was actually plugged into what was going on, would that nonsense about Obama being Muslim have even made the news? Of course not, it was bullshit, and the jackasses reporting it knew it was bullshit. They only did it because they knew they had an enormous audience of slack jawed idiots who would believe whatever silliness came out of the magic porn box in front of them.
God, I hate people.
