Myoung:
Politicians in California constantly throw out the idea that the general public is in an uproar about sex offenders and the inadequate condition of the registry here.
If the general public doesn't have a general understanding and isn't informed, then the logical conclusion is that politicians are lying about the uproar and creating their own agenda upon the masses.
When they passed the Megan's law extension here recently, politicians used the "uproar" as a basis for their decision to extend it. I read many newspapers on-line during that time and couldn't find but a smidgen of articles interviewing the public on where they stood on the issue. The local TV news had only a couple of small reports to where they interviewed just a couple of people about it--and those people weren't even mad about the issue.
Makes one wonder!
