How could I know this??...because I've spoken to quite a few who do and I've seen enough websites on the subject, forums etc, to know what people are thinking. No, that's one thing I'm not....taken in by the media. Nor have I ever followed the crowd, on anything for that matter. Never been your typical "Joe public" on anything. I take what the media dish out with a grain of salt. The public, by and large, aren't idiots (though some are)...they're ignorant and apathetic. They don't care for the most part and don't have the knowledge (or for the most part the education) to make informed decisions on things. That's why they get easily taken in by "experts" or swayed by the media. The big problem also being those people who are rightfully experts in a particular matter don't do themselves or their areas of expertise any great service by the way they act, sometimes.
