Dont forget celebrities!, they are the ones who really know everything.
People are generally far to influenced by musicians, celebrities and such, even though they are the people who generally know least about the world and what really goes on. Mustaines opinion is his own, but its warped and covered with half truthes and inaccuracies, and he leaves out facts that are crucial, as you mentioned.
imo politics and music dont mix, it really ruins the listening experience when ive got some suck hole preaching to me.
