As for the voter base...Some of them might know, but I think a lot of them dont. That in and of itself is fucking unforgivable, but let's lay blame where it's TRULY due...at the feet of our nation's propaganda outlets. Propaganda has always been legal in america (first amendment, and facts as counterweights) because it was believed the general populace was minimally educated enough to smell the difference. After this debacle of a presidency (and you thought president Cheney was bad), perhaps that assumption and the legality it allows will be allowed to change.
For me, I'd prefer a law that states that if you're gonna run a newsroom, it has to operate as a non-profit, or it can't be called news. If you wanna make money for shareholders, then you have to call it entertainment. Before and after every commercial break. And if not, have fun in prison.
