In your desperate search for obviousness, you fail to miss my point. Newspapers, television broadcasters and the like respond to the interests of their readers and viewers and thereby by reflect what is important to their audiences. Your use of the word "duh" somewhat mirrors this general apathy towards education. Flippancy on a serious subject is more telling than you would imagine.

I fail to miss your point? If you mean what I think you mean, missing the point is exactly what you have done.
