Is It Possible that More is Less?

Hi Mark. Theoretically one of the best things about new media is that the thousands of bloggers are constantly chacking facts and keeping people honest.

Seems to me that the facts are having limited effect and that people either like a candidate and see probing questions as attacks, or already hate him or her and see each new "revelation" as proof of what they already know.

Could it be that all of the fact checking and noise is making people stop listening critically to new information as it is revealed? Is there too much information?
