Alec Baldwin believes 'Americans are very uninformed about reality'
Alec Baldwin blames 'business' component of news for Americans being 'uninformed'

Alec Baldwin believes that Americans have a misunderstanding of the world's most pressing problems.

The reason for this, he explained at a recent event, is that they're uneducated and led astray by the mass media.

The 66-year-old "Rust" actor, this year's recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Torino Film Festival in northern Italy, commented on the media's influence in reporting news.

"Television news in the United States is a business. They have to make money," Baldwin said during a press conference, per The Hollywood Reporter. He added, "There's a hole. There's a vacuum. There is a gap, if you will, in information for Americans."

He continued, "Americans are very uninformed about reality – what's really going on. With climate change, Ukraine, Israel… You name it, all the biggest topics in the world, Americans have an appetite for a little bit of information."

They are either misinformed incorrectly informed if they listen to the usual suspects.

Why is he still here?  He promised to leave the country when Bush got elected.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

But not so uninformed that we pointed a loaded gun at a woman and pulled the trigger.
