but they do fool most of us with the culture wars these days

I don't think "they" are trying to fool us just for the sake of messing with our heads. Profits are fundamentally the motive for inducing consumerism. Money is also continually spent to protect the profits of the MIC, the gun manufacturers, medical insurance industry, the pharmaceutical industry, the investment banking sector, etc.

PR and advertising firms will use whichever techniques work. There will be a trial-and-error period, and then they'll stick with whatever works.

Air time rarely is spent on the real economy and what average working people are most concerned about

Well, I agree there should be more discussion of these issues. However, which of the moneyed interests see the benefit of that discussion?

until we get the mother of all Depressions that will take most of them down for the count

So be it. Karma.
