In early days of rock and roll (when most radio stations refused to play it), a rock and roll stations always had five minutes of new at the top of the hour. Kids were so informed as to be among the first to see lies about Vietnam.
Today's kids have almost no news. Many are so emotional as to not want to hear news because "it is so depressing". Extremists make decisions based upon their emotions. Only moderates routinely learn facts to then have an informed conclusion.
Scary are so many kids who never learn what is relevant. Who are therefore manipulated by their emotions. Who are primed to become extremists. And who vote in pathetic numbers because they don't know what reality is.
