7. This is really my point - as long as it's commercial, it's got to make
the numbers, so it's got to be entertaining. The sort of public discourse that will save us must go beyond "he said, she said" and even beyond "fair and balanced" (as if these issues are some kind of sports contest.) The truth is VERY difficult to winnow out, and requires citizenship over consumerism, a mass desire to eschew fun and games and wade through complex arguments. I just don't think the American people are up to it.
