I wouldnt say I am overly informed, but I think with the election looming I have investigated it more than I ever have before.
It actually has been a good side effect of having this youtube account. Now when I see something fishy or someone sends me a link, I dont just ignore it or gloss over it. If it has something that catches my eye I think "I need to check that out - might be a video in that".
I imagine after the voteing dust has settled I will go back to more varied topics
