5. Because American-educated Americans are MORONS!
You want proof? Stand near a snack bar or shop in a food court. Especially one with a big sign clearly showing the items for sale and the prices. Take one of those pocket counters or a paper and pencil.

Count how many people walk up to the counter, in full view of the sign, and ask "What have you got?" or "How much is that thing there?" In other words, the people who CAN'T READ the sign or ARE TOO LAZY TO READ the sign.

Having worked behind a snack bar counter in a discount store, a very busy one, I can tell that you will be surprised by the number.

Americans are idiots because our idiotic, abusive teachers and education system - and of course the parents of the students - haven't convinced them NOT to be idiots. So of course the news media only feature one story at a time. That's all our tiny minds can take.
