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."
