The link takes you to an article declaring the misinformation that is rife in America today. Most of our citizens carry inaccurate opinions on the status of the Economy and the government's finances. This is disheartening since they are about to make some pretty important decisions.
1. What does the reader believe to be the single biggest reason for this level of misinformation in our society today? Explain.
2. Why might it be easy to understand that, faced with the facts, individual households could still be skeptical about the macro realities?
3. If these represent the opinions Americans are taking to the polls, what impact will this have on Tuesday's election and the coming years in our national and state Capitols?
4. Can you make a connection, as students, between the disintegration of objective media, the rise of polarizing and uncivil relations in our politics, the disappearance of well-guided public education, and this level of misdirection among the electorate?
