Unbiased information is a dying practice in the modern world. People have become complacent in forming opinions on issues, not waiting for supporting data or using statements without information to support it. So a person hears or reads something telling them the conclusion the should reach, and they tend to believe it if reinforced by similar statements.

   This causes phenomenonias, such as…Male Answer Syndrome, or MAS. This is a condition where a person who could not save his marriage, without any doubt, knows exactly what is needed to attain peace in the Middle East. Or can not program a VCR, yet argues about how to fix the infrastructure.  This is caused by the “Dopeler Effect” that is when information presented rapidly seems to make more sense, than when a person has time to think about what has been said. Otherwise known as jumping to conclusions. The practice of opinionation without complete representation of information.

Food inc is a film that uses such tactics. A statement is made without backing data then used as an example of fact. Talk Radio uses this tactic as well and often uses a quote without authentication. After several uses, a person is inclined to either believe it or dismiss it entirely.
