As does most everyone these days, I am sure.

In fact, that's another reason why I think the electorate is becoming more and more polarized the last few cycles, with the "undecideds" shrinking. We tend to seek out news/analysis that matches our dispositions. And there is plenty to be found, on both sides. It is really a rare, rare person that both A) cares deeply about politics, and B) is undecided. Most of the undecided vote is people who just don't really care a lot.

Im not sure if you were meaning to include these, but I believe the MSM to include cable news such as MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, etc. as well as the local "Big Three" and the newspapers. There are alot of senior citizens that still get their news from these sources by my estimation. But, that is my own observation and could be way off base.

If you are correct, it would make sense to me that those that really don't care are much more likely to be uninformed and swayed by lies. If I were to believe the polls these are the very people who will swing the election either way and that is a sobering thought.
