Approximately 2 out of 5 Americans approve of the job George W. Bush is doing. Is he the face of America? Yes, it could be argued, but is he the heart of America?
The same effect applies to anything that receives a high profile. Falsehoods run rampant if you only look on the surface of things. I've never looked to the media to teach me about anything. Why would I have them teach me about Islam?
