Americans Are Ignorant Of Politics Analysis

While I do agree that Americans are ignorant of politics, I disagree that television is the major factor for people's cluelessness to politics and the government. Television is no longer the first thing that people go to to check their news. Nowadays social media is all over the place, on people's phones, on their laptops, etc., and with all these media surrounding the public there is bound to be some biased information concerning certain topics, like politics. Many websites would include biased information in order to get the viewer to agree with their way of thinking, and most people are too lazy to research other sites to confirm if the site is credible or not. These biased websites can either make the ignorant citizens more clueless concerning
the matter about politics or make them distrust any and every piece of information they see, neither options are good. The lack of education concerning politics also leads to people's ignorance of the government. There are many factors making the majority of the public ignorant of the government, and not just television.
