Most people are either to busy with the struggle to surrvive or distracted by raising their children to have the luxury of paying attention AND thinking about what is going on world wide or even local to them.. i was fortunate enough to have the luxury of time during college to sit in a swamp smoking while contemplating this very issue.. when most people get a little spare time the last thing they want to do is check the news and then factcheck the news and the research

Most Americans consume either no news, state propaganda (e.g., Fox, CBS), elite propaganda (e.g., WaPo, NYT), or junk news (most online sources) and thus have a poor grasp of what is happening and almost zero context for why.
