2. Their viewers lack the integrity and often intelligence to be upset.
We are where we were in the late 1800s, when journalism was entertainment and Americans were clueless and naive. We haven't been really touched by a war since Viet Nam, and even that happened elsewhere, so we didn't feel it the way a nation being invaded feels it.

A good destructive war on our home turf and a complete economic meltdown would bring some maturity to this nation. Not that I'd want to see either happen.
