Living in the US has been interesting, to say the least. I get my news mainly from The Daily Show and BBC since all the other channels completely fail in delivering objective news. Ok, the urge for sensation is present everywhere (even in Europe), but at least journalists there still try to provide the people with correct news disregarding of their own opinions. Sadly, that's not the case in the US. "News" stations have been providing people with their opinions covered up as facts. It's become a blame game where bashing the opponent is the norm. I believe that the lack of correct essential information is a big contributor to the political and economical problems. After all, what is democracy without a well informed public?
These videos shows at least one person in the media, and he's not even a journalist, who actually uses facts and figures to make his point, and you get a laugh too.
