Perhaps some of what you might view to be distorted has become that way because of the conversations that go on over the net.
I for one realize quite plainly that what you see on tv isn't true. I also realize that the media 'distorts' every story to suit themselves, whatever the motivation is. My views about gun culture in the US largely stem from online discussions on the subject which has only led me to believe that in some ways, the 'distorted' view portrayed by the media overall is not as distorted with regard to guns as it is for other issues.
I think Hagar's sentiments would be quite aptly applied to the views of most mainstream Aussies.
