Some, but the rate at which Dion and a few others are laying that blame is disproportionate to the appropriate amount of responsibility.
Rarely, if ever, is "It's their fault I'm angry, they didn't walk me through the information so I had no choice but to read and trust the Toronto Sun" a good excuse.
While I agree we can't expect a large amount of people to do any actual legwork to ensure they understand an issue from a non-biased perspective (as evidenced by the amount of hate, anger, and general ignorance here), it still doesn't excuse their laziness.
