Have you lived in the US for any length of time? If you had, you would have witnessed a slow erosion of the quality of programming targeting the American public. The erosion coincided with the lowering of policy standards of education being allowed throughout the system. Since a significant portion of students were/are allowed to graduate through the system without justification, we now have a significant shortage of skilled workers in various industries.(Finance,technology,medicine). The media will
reach their bottomline by playing to the majority of their dumb-downed audience.I don't feel my case is overstated as the level of programming throughout the last two decades
support my statements.

Terry, I agree. There have been many cultural changes over the past 30 years, and although not all of them have been positive, I do not think that negative cultural changes are due to a change in intelligence. If anything, the Twentieth Century was distinguished by the fact that the masses began to embrace rational explanations for natural phenomena (germs as the cause of disease, etc.).
