Alright, I'm watching the "crawl" on Fox News this morning, and across comes this interesting tidbit. Enron CEO Ken Lay's "unfavorability rating" is at 41%. Hmm, seems kinda low. But wait, 38% of those polled DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS!! WTF, this sh*t is all over the news!! I can't believe the ignorance level of some Americans.

Many Americans do not follow the news.

When they get the paper, they may glance at the front page but go straight to the sports or gossip sections.

Others may not be interested in the news or unable to watch it during normal times.
I am example, news is never on when I have the TV on (unless I switch to a news channel -but my wife would kill me)
My wife is not interested in the news unless she thinks that it directly affects us, then she asks me to check on it.

I grab most of my news from the radio on the drive into work or via the Web.
