I don't think the problem is confined to market news, it's really the *entire news media* in the US that's an insult to anybody's intelligence.

I personally virtually never watch TV here in the US anyway, but the problem was really brought home to me in working overseas and not paying *any* attention to what goes on in the US. When I came back after a few years, it was hard to express how moronic the stuff in the media appeared here. I think that even people who are critical of the media here may not realize just how awful it is if they do pay any daily attention.

I'm really serious, if someone is even passively exposed to this stuff, even if they pay no real attention, the impact of how bad it is is a lot less striking!
