So what option did you pick? Or which would be closest to what you believe? Do you believe we should have informed or ignorant voters?
We are going to have ignorant voters regardless of the information available on the internet. Don't make the mistake of assuming that easy availability of information will result in a better-informed population. You and I are interested in politics, thus we post in forums such as this, and we google subjects, and read opinions and articles. The majority of the public, and even a good number of voters, are just marginally interested, especially in the really critical issues.
Don't get me wrong- I'm not in favor of government intervention regarding internet information available- I just don't think it would result in a less-informed voting population.
