not just Americans melambra - 30/04/2004 03:19:02 PM

Its quite amazing that most Americans wont know which 10 are joining. Of course I cant truly blame them. Those that dont rely on print news are rather brainwashed. CNN and Fox news exclusively focus on Iraq and the November election.

Just proves my point that television news is crap, and all people should be reading print news.

There is an Italian poll in today's "Corriere Della Sera" on the enlarging of the Community:

21% are informed exactly
56% are vaguely aware of the fact
23% never heard about it

And those numbers are not the worst! They consider it a GOOD LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE (sic). It seems that in May 2001 (previous enlargement) the numbers were way worse.
