Ugh, isn't that fun to realize? Of course I don't always blame people because news sources are shit unless you go out & search for them online. During the Iranian election protests, I turned on CNN expecting to see something--anything about them and instead got a news piece on a dog that had fallen down the well.
but i find it stupider when people don't know anything at all about it. like you said, i find it acceptable if you don't know the whole story because it's difficult to know the whole situation unless you wikipedia it, but you should at least know that there are protests going on =/
So after reading your post, and the Mother Jones one (THANK YOU FOR THE LINK) and the video on Mother Jones, that reminded me of Tianianmen Square... It hit me harder than I thought it would because that video reminded me so much of 1989 and how the Chinese are still going on about it, and yeah, it made me cry seeing those people stand in front of that truck :(
And yeah. I don't know what else to say, but it made me cry and I reposted a bunch of this stuff onto Facebook, Twitter and even on a LJ community in hopes to spread the word. ♥
