Just How Stupid Are We?

Did you ever saw this book? You can read the fragments here:

Just How Stupid Are We?: Facing the Truth About the American Voter

by Rick Shenkman

I believe that this book should not be seen as downgrading American people. It just shows how people (any people, not just Americans) are influenced by propaganda, media etc.

here is the interview with Rick Shenkman. He is saying that he does not want to provoke people by saying that Americans are stupid or smart but that the mass media create us dumb.
