Yes people have very short attention spans and they’re getting shorter.
Because of the huge amount of information currently available through TV and the internet the individual’s brains are going into “overload” and important facts and data is being overwritten by waves of sensationalized news items.
When I was a youngin growing up in the early 50’s the TV chanels consisted of: 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 &13. Most of them were merely “test patterns” from 1:00 AM till 7: AM. And the news was 15 minutes long from 6:00 PM to 6:15 PM on the major channels.
TJ – Yep, I remember the same thing on TV, but I also remember taking whatever Walter Cronkite said as true. So I am glad for another option as far as my info overload.
Woody – We still don’t know if Obammer is a US citizen. But the bigger issue is how he took down Ryan by having his divorce record released to the public. Very sleazy politics. Ok don’t know that it is a bigger issue…..if he was found to be in-eleigible to hold office, we could eliminate every executive order and law he has shoved down our throats?

I haven’t forgotten, but I’m not the MSM trying to cover it up.

Yes it would. And the entire chain of czars would be immediately deleted.
