where exactly do folk get information about iraq from the states that is not mediated by the dominant infotainment systems?
people are concerned with what they're told to be concerned about in the main, and usually in the way they're told to be concerned about it.
so the way this information is staged or framed says alot about how folk will and won't be concerned, because (to repeat the word mediation in another way) that's how they encounter the information.
so we aren't talking here about the attitudes of some "joe sixpack" directly--we're talking about the ways in which this "joe sixpack" is positioned with respect to information by the way(s) in which that information is presented.
