Don't forget that news media is a for-profit enterprise. They get more viewers from controversy than they get from non-controversial factual reporting. So they have an incentive to polarize the public, to incite emotional responses. Rather than bore you with the facts, they'll excite you with an emotionally charged version, picking only those stories that might stir the viewers. Basically, the news media promotes propoganda for profit, all large media outlets, every one. If you want a higher standard, you'll need to turn off the television, avoid the daily rags and not watch any network news or read any newspapers. 'Cause they've all become tabloids. Both major political parties have become caricatures of themselves. The media is all too willing to exploit them to make "headlines" and the politicians enjoy the publicity so they have mutual goals fulfilled with this kind of exaggeration and hype.
