People get stuck in a filter bubble based on their friends and their interests. The one-sided content validates and entrenches their opinions and values. Part of the filter is the source of the content, as distribution methods can vary by groups. A lot of conservatives may get their information from forwarded emails and radio talk shows, while liberals receive DailyKos action newsletters and watch mainstream media. Occasionally you find yourself conversing with someone from a different bubble (thanks to a shared interest like cigars), and you cannot fathom why someone would have differing opinions. You feel like they'd be idiots to ignore the massive amount of "evidence" that has been provided to you, not realizing that you've only been provided a portion of the information available, which is a different portion than what they've been provided.

Edit: I just wanted to add that this wasn't necessarily directed at victor- just musings brought on by that comment.

You're absolutely correct here.

But what I find interesting is that there's almost a difference in the method of delivering the "misinformation".

Most of the "misinformation" I find on the left (ie, links friends of mine post to fb etc) is what one would call lying by omission. The actual statements are factually correct, but neglecting to point out additional information which one should consider. "Seals are dying in alaska because of crab fishing!!!" ... while neglecting that is just 1% of seal deaths, and 50% of all seal deaths are because their bones are being made into birkenstocks. (this was an example, no seals were harmed in its writing).

This is in stark contrast to absolute, factually incorrect stuff I see kicking around right-wing circles.

The end result is the same, I just find it curious that there's a difference to the method.

All this get in the way of the real numbers and the real facts;

Obamacare enjoys a 71.4% approval rating among registered voters. Almost 3 in 4 people!

The first health care initiatives have already returned a net 167 billion dollars to middle class Americans – with far, far more savings on the way.

Our children (not you Victor) will enjoy a future free from Polio, and still the right wing nuts continue to fabricate misleading talking points about Obamacare.

Cbid is becoming as bad as Fox News . . . . .

You don't see some of us "rightwingers" railing against Obamacare, do you, Brew?
Can't be any worse than the ultra-expensive, high deductible, chock full of exclusions shiite that many of us small businesses are dropping.

Oh, and for the record, I like Fox and its foxes.
Sure some beat the same old predictable drum over and over again but IMHO, it beats the sexually ambiguous pc parrots on msnbc that barely mentioned Benghazi and the "phony scandals". lol

Looked around. The email is, as we always expected from drafter, false. Someone with more time on their hands did a pretty efficient dissection of it, see the attached:
