Very few people want the truth. The vast majority are too enthralled with tweeting, facebooking, reality shows, and celebrity worship while they spend their government freebies to care.
You nailed that one! And the news and sports media only have about 10% of their allotted time for regular programming. The other 90% is used for advertising.
It may seem like that, but actually roughly 15% is advertising- the rest is programming. Each network is different, but this is close to standard.
