It is more and more apparent that American mind has been subject to so much manipulation both for commercial purposes as well as for other purposes such that they are easy to manipulate. One would not think this is possible in a country where for all intents and purposes, the average person has access to a lot of information, education and other resources to be able to make informed decisions. Some people have banded together to feed the public only whatever serves their agenda, and the news media is part of the game. I warn my kids about this fact constantly.
