Bill O'Reilly: "America Is In For A Big Shock" - RealClearPolitics
BILL O'REILLY: A new poll by Gallup says right now in the U. S. A. left and right wing Americans are tied in numbers. A poll of more than 1,000 adults asked Americans to describe themselves on social issues: 5 percent say they are very conservative. 21 percent liberal. 10 percent very liberal. 4 percent don't know what they are. I call it the "Watters' World" syndrome that more Americans are simply ignorant of the consequences involving social behavior. As Talking Points has often pointed out, the rise of the net has taken people away from the real world and put them in a fantasy world. That's one of the reasons I created "Watters' World" where Jesse Watters asks folks about what they know about the real world. Now, granted "Watters' World" is just a small slice of life, but I believe only about 50 percent of the American people take the time to understand important issues. The second factor driving the trend to the left in the U. S. A. is the media but not the news media. Most Americans don't even bother with the news anymore. In cyberspace, progressive Web sites vastly outnumber traditional Web sites. 2001 just 40 percent of the American. Source: www.realclearpolitics.com
