At the end of the day what can you really do? People are going to believe what they hear and hear what they want to believe. How do we really change public perception with that attitude? Responsible nationwide journalism would help, but that isn't sexy enough to sell ad space, people want controversy. Besides even when things like this are corrected time and time again in the national media people still cling to them like its gospel.
It is what it is...depressing and sad but...well I don't know, with so much misinformation, hatred and bigotry out there this I'm surprised the numbers aren't higher to be honest.
