You can't legislate for stupidity, really. People listen to Bill O'Reilly or Al Franken and take it as legitimate. The same people read hard news and refuse to believe it.
Exactly my point. I wasn't suggesting legislation, just that it would be kind of op-ed writers who aren't quite as obvious or well-known to label their material as such. It was just a thought. Legislation for stupidity happens all the time, that's why de-evolution is progressing at such a rapid rate
