    These people all seem to be some of the most maliciously stupid and/or unqualified that they could find

    In my life, I have found that, the more ignorant someone is, the deeper their malice can get. We should really live in a society where being ignorant is as shameful as pooping your pants in public

      I would think an awful lot would change if the business model around most media (news, movies, TV) were different.

      But, as it is, I think most media really tip-toes around things that may make the ignorant uncomfortable, since they want to sell soap and boner pills to those people as well. Zeus forbid those people were to be told their beliefs were wrong.
